    Anything we should absolutely visit???

    There is a group of 12 all adults some older including the folks. Going for 4 days, start of September. We'll be heading out of the city on one of the days to the Menin Gate so as we don't have lots of time and I don't want to missing something that's an absolute must see.

    Thanks:)

    The Atomium is unique and worth seeing. Mini-Europe is nearby too and you can get an Atomium+M-E admission ticket

    Also a train trip to Bruges is nice worth considering

    If you're considering pubs you should check out Delirium Tremens. Over 2000 different beers and a kind of old fashioned pub atmosphere

    If you are in north Brussels, Atomium and Heysel stadium then nearby is the city village of Laeken.

    There's a Royal Castle and the the church here has the Royal Family tombs, there's a large cemetery with a one the many Rodin's The Thinker. An art collector bought it specially for his own tomb.
    The main street is hilly and small but there is a restaurant/bar that was serving Spaghetti Bolognese and a beer for €4.00. Dark wooded interior with Pissoirs on the way to the cubicles. After the EU quarter and the Royal Palaces in the city centre, this was the essential Bruxelles.
