You can easily spend a couple of days in Brussels. There is so much to see! Lots of musea, for instance. Unfortunately, we only came for a day and a half and hadn't the time to visit them. Next time, we intend to stay somewhat longer and visit some of the musea. A long time ago, when I was still teaching, we visited the African museum with school and also the museum with the dinosaurs. But there are many more worth exploring.
On our short trip we decided to go walking around a bit. We had a hotel close to the Central Station and from there it is only a short distance to the beautiful Grand Place, with its imposant City Hall.
Many small streets go from there and they're fun to walk through. Not far from the Grand Place you'll find Manneke Pis, the statue of a little boy peeing. And I can also advise to walk through the Galleries Saint-Hubert, which are the eldest in the country. Lots of fine shops and cafés!
The center of Brussels is not that big. From the Central Station it is not far walking to the Kunstberg (Mont des Arts) where you can find various musea. From the top of the stairs you have a nice view over Brussels.
And also not far it is to the Royal Palace. I believe you can visit this during the summer months. The King doesn't actually live there, though, it's only his working place. The royal couple and their children live in the palace of Laken, outside of the center in a big park.
There is certainly a lot to see and I can recommend a visit!
