Just_Arrived_HereHello
I am visiting Brussels for 4 days in late October with a friend.
My local friend is busy with work so we have some free time.
We want to see the sights but we don't want to do only the typical tourist stuff.
What are the best places to visit in Brussels in two days
Accepted answer
been_there_done_thatTwo days is plenty if you stay in the center for the first day and hit the landmarks on the outskirts for the second... You should probably stick to the Grand Place and Manneken Pis for your first day in the Pentagon.
For the second day you could do:
Just remember the Atomium is a bit of a trip on the metro and you should check the r/brussels subreddit wiki for local recommendations.
wafflelover882Last year when I went to Ghent, I had the same problem!
belgian_skepticPeople saying you can cram a trip to Bruges into a weekend are wrong, it's way too exhausting for just two days, you really need at least three days to actually enjoy the city without feeling like you're running a marathon!
logistics_and_lagerYou should definitely grab a sweet lambic at A la bécasse while you are wandering around. It's a great spot to relax (and avoid the crowds).
the_pastry_pathThe Atomium and the museums in Cinquantenaire are totally worth it if you have the time! I went last month and loved the park area
Just_Arrived_HereThanks for the advice, we ended up just staying in the city center!
