yeah april is cool for fewer people and cheaper hotels - just bring a raincoat because the weather is weird. u get about 10 hours of sun a day which is great but it still rains like 11 days out of the month. daytime is around 14°C but it drops to 5°C at night so pack layers. honestly 4 days is way too much for just brussels u should spend some time in Ghent and Bruges instead.

The weather felt a bit too dreary and wet sometimes with all that sudden hail.

Main entrances of the train stations are relatively safe during the day when commuters are using them. It is better to stay in the busy areas.

Last year I went out for a walk and got hit by sudden hail!! It was freezing even though it was supposed to be spring
