4 days in Brussels Itinerary

The allure of the multi-cultural capital, Brussels, stems from its mix of political intrigue, artistic influence, historical significance, and a thriving social scene.

Brussels is known for historic sites, museums, nightlife, shopping, and theme parks. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: steep yourself in history at Grand Place, appreciate the history behind Manneken Pis, examine the collection at Atomium, and find something for the whole family at Mini-Europe.
