Brussels is just a big generic European city IMHO. As a center of bureaucracy, its fairly meh, though the Grand Place had it's charms. It was a lot grimier than I expected too. Not much reason to go there frankly.....except....
Belgium has to have the best beer on the planet, steeped in centuries of the craft. You might weep when you have your first tripel.
Amsterdam as a city is far more interesting to visit. But the beer is Heineken.
