Thanks in advance.
You need 10 hours after your release before you can begin a new FDP, so I'd guess that it's 10.5 hours between release and report if they want a 30 minute buffer.

A few random ideas from several years ago. I haven't been recently.

Train to Leuven - Stella Brewery
Train to Brugge - see the Cathedral
1958 World Fair grounds - Google "Atomium" - interesting structure
Cantillon brewery
Musical Instruments museum
Comic Strip museum

Typical layover stuff includes:
-Grand Palace, Delerium, Morte Subite, Celtica, and a few others the crew will know.
-For a first time visitor, go see Manneken Pis

Check out Rick Steves travel guides and google "Belgium walking tour" You can download a walking tour for almost any city to your iPod or phone. Safety tip - Only use one earbud!

Thanks! Thinking about bringing wife with. Any idea how security off the plane is going into country? Some places it’s qwik and the crew is willing to wait on family members, other places not so much. I figured there’s probably a train that can get us close.

BRU is similar to LHR and CDG, with separate aircrew screening and transport. I'm not familiar with the train to/from the airport. Your best bet is to check tripadvisor or hit up google/bing.
