Brussels rewards the curious and the hungry in equal measure. This three-day arc moves through the city's historic heart, its bohemian drinking dens, and its diverse neighbourhood restaurants — balancing grand civic grandeur with the kind of low-key bars where an afternoon can dissolve pleasantly into evening.
