What to do on a Sunday morning in Brussels?

Sleep in, perhaps?

Brussels is certainly not Belgium's main tourist attraction, because it's (medieval) historic center was destroyed at the end of the 19th century when Brussels was made the capital of newly-independent Belgium. Only the market square (Belgium's finest!) and a few surrounding streets are left. They are worth a visit but not enough to fill a day. Also, Brussels is a city of bureaucrats: local, Flemish and Belgian penpushers mingle with embassy workers and eurocrats all week, and flee from the city on the weekend, leaving it even more dull.

Most tourists prefer Brugge (romantic!), Gent (monumental!) or Antwerp (lively and cosmopolitan, more populous than Brussels!) as their base. These cities come alive at the weekend without being boring on a weekday. They are also safe, cheap, and more welcoming to leisure tourists than conference-heavy Brussels.

Popular day trips on sunday are the coast in summer and the snowy Ardennes hills in winter. Or for some more monuments: combine Mechelen (the Malinas of the spanish inquisition) and Leuven (a medieval college town, monumental and lively) with... well, inner city Brussels. That market square is Belgium's finest, you know.

Oh, and the museums in Brussels close early on Sundays, so maybe don't sleep in after all.

Brussels may be the capital of Belgium and is the key seat of the Belgian Royal Family and, also the capital of the European Union and if you want to know after that it here is the place hotelbye . Brussels is an amazingly small, easy-going, and human-sized city for all its importance. Unlike anthers city with their hordes of tourists, Brussels is Belgium's principal economic and academic centre, which provides the city a more workaday experience than different towns. Here, in Brussels, if you would choose to visit, you will get a proper sense for Belgian life, especially its excellent cafe and café culture. Although Brussels may possibly not need the star attractions of different Belgian neighborhoods, the capital has plenty of to help keep readers occupied for a day or two with a clutch of world-class museums and artwork galleries, along with quirkier views like the Atomium, and some great remnants of previous structure in the old area quarter.

On Sunday morning there's a market near the South station (Brussels Midi)....

In the afternoon, you can visit the Grand Place (Grote Markt)...

I even think some shops are open...

You can also take the train to Mechelen or Antwerp which both have nice marketplaces with old buildings and a cathedral...

Shops wouldn't be open there since it's Sunday...

Except the standard touristic things?

There are markets near Midi station (The main station).

Some shops are open in the galleries near Grand Place. Both English bookshops are open.

Better go to the Antique fair in Brussels!

There 2:

Sablon (real high class antiques)

Vossenplein (bric a brac & antiques)

"Chunky Jesus" with apologies for any perceived blasphemy for the better zealous Christians among my contacts. If it truly is a STRIP bar, call it "he's now no longer appropriate right here!" That technique while better halves and girlfriends are seeking for their S.O. mendacity to cover on your clien would be totallly unecessary as your workers will answer using the club's identify.

Brewerie de Cantillon which is by the midi station is a very cool brewery to visit. This is the only brewery that is directly close that doesn't have to have a reservation.

you could always have a look in Manneken Pis, and the atomium exhibit, of le mort subite is a grand pub to have a few bevy's

Go for a stroll perhaps around the main square?
