Traveling to Belgium this year, simply put, was a dream come true. As a self-proclaimed chocoholic and newly converted beer snob, spending a handful of days in the country of chocolate and beer was pure heaven. Even though I only had a couple of days in Brussels, the Man and I sure made the most of it by packing in all the sights (not to mention all of the food and drink we could stuff our faces with!).

Below you’ll find all my top tips of where to eat, drink and be merry throughout the city, whether you only have a couple of days or a whole week! There’s just one big tip I have to share with you all before I dive in…

If I have to be honest – and you all know that I always am here, whether you like it or not – I would allocate the smaller portion of your time to Old Town.

I have cited my favorite spots in Old Town in the round up of food, drinks and sights below, but you could easily get away with dedicating a late afternoon/evening to the entire thing. It’s the rest of the city that truly deserves some additional exploring, especially in the Sablon neighborhood and the surrounding upper town areas. All the details are below, but just be sure to really experience the city and its culture. Get out of those over-crowded touristy areas!

Trust me on this. 😉
