How to avoid the worst of it today

Do the Horta houses and the Sablon. Art Nouveau interiors, antique arcades, chocolate at the source — the calm-day circuit of the city's quieter luxuries.
Walk the comic murals end to end. The full route through the Marolles and the center, flea market included — Brussels at its own ironic pace.

Where the crowds are

The Grand-Place & the Ilot Sacre lanes: The square and its restaurant alleys take every visitor's first hours.
The Manneken corner: A permanent small scrum at the little fountain.

Quiet places in Brussels

The Sablon & the Marolles: Antiques, chocolate and the flea market's morning theatre.
The Cinquantenaire's lawns: Arcade, museums and green distance from the center.
