I was in Brussels and Brugge a few weeks ago. In Brugge we stayed at Relais & Chateau's De Snippe, which we enjoyed and which also has a very popular and highly rated restaurant. (Being vegetarians, it, as most restaurants in Belgium, had nothing for us, so we pretty much lived on waffles and Neuhaus chocolates, which are a bargain there.) There's a good cheese shop in Brugge - if you're interested I'll look through my stuff for the name. We didn't find any one site to be of particular interest, but simply walking and sitting and marveling at the architecture in Brussels' Grote Markt and also at the National Palace is quite enjoyable. The Royal Palace was open when we went and that was quite nice inside, but I believe it's only open for two weeks or so in August. Brugge is charming, but rather touristy and we felt two days there was plenty. Skip Brussels' chocolate museum. Cabs are very pricey there so it's best to try to avoid them.
