Personal comments
La Grand Place: there are lots of places to have a beer and eat (bit expensive). Streets around Grand Place have different typical food (italian, greek, marrocain, seafood (delicious)). Maniken Pis (there is also a girl version, close to a bar "Delirium Tremens" that has more than 2000 types of beer. St. Michael's Catedral (just amazing). Eglise du Grand Sablon (my favorite part of Brussels). The public bikes are a good (but very heavy) way to travel cheaply around Brussels. Palais de Justice (marvelous from de outside, incredible on the inside). Every week there is some activity at the grand place or at any point in Brussels (if you get boared in Brussels it's because you want to).
