A short break to Brussels can refuel your batteries, with minimal travel hassle and maximum value, if you plan carefully.

First, let the train take the strain. Book well in advance and at off-peak times - especially when the Eurocrats are in recess - and, if you book your train and accommodation via Eurostar, enjoy considerable discounts. Pick a hotel near the centre and you can walk to most places of interest.

Second, do not expect to see all of Brussels on one trip. Do little and often. Essentials include: La Mort Subite bar, Belga Queen and Falstaff restaurants, Grand Place and Kriek beer.
