Also worthy of consideration if you fly into BRU: Bruges and Ghent. 1.5/1 hrs away from BRU by train respectively. Both gorgeous (unlike BRU, which I consider a rather ugly city and fairly boring as well). Fantastic beer. Easy to do as a daytrip from BRU, though I'd much rather sleep in Bruges and do Ghent as a sidestop on your way back to BRU or down to Paris. We just had a few free days before my class @ DL so only stayed 4 nights, but my wife loved it...and is newly addicted to expensive Belgian quadruppels at 11% ABV!
