So, next week I'll be in the capital city for two evenings and one morning,
which is THE place you'd suggest me to visit?

It doesn't have to be a tourist attraction, can be a really cool art gallery, artist cafe or something.

I'm not interested in dance clubs, drugs and other such nightlife.

There is that one square or plaza there very nice old buildings, forget the name...errr that's about it. Do get some beer at a pub though, you know the kind they tap then shave the head off with a knife. Too bad TDI isn't here he could tell you.

I live in a 800+ year old city myself, there are plenty of old buildings here, so that's not something I'm really interested in.
I don't like beer. Maybe a really cool teahouse?

They're special in Belgium. They invented them.

I'm not interested in old memorabilia. Picky me! :D
I already looked at opera tickets, but they didn't have anything in the days I'm there.

So anyone that has been in Brussels has any more suggestions?
