Why visit
Brussels is useful for Grand Place, Horta architecture, beer, chocolate, comic-strip culture, museums, EU institutions, and rail access across Belgium. It is a better base than its reputation suggests.
When to avoid
Do not visit Brussels expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. In Brussels, a good plan starts with the constraints, not with the number of sights. For Brussels, group stops tightly, verify hours, and use a ride when transit, darkness, or neighborhood conditions make that wiser. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Brussels as a base rather than the whole destination.
