Anyone been to Brussels?

[DJFish]

Hi folks,
I'm planning a works trip to Brussels in September for 17 people.
Aside from the city's obvious liquid attractions, has anyone any suggestions for some kind of teambuilding activities that we could do in the afternoon/evening before we retire to the bar?

Cheers
Dave

If you are still planning, i would plan to go somewhere else..........

I went to Brussels with work about a month ago and to be honest there isnt a lot entertainment wise from what i saw........

The food and beer is good, as is some of the architecture, but in general terms i dont think its the best place to entertain that number of people.

I would go to Amsterdam, far far more to do, nicer place in general and well i love it over there!!

Brussels is okay for a beer sampling weekend and wandering around looking at chocolates for the missus but other than that I'd go somewhere else to entertain a sizable group of people. Amsterdam has some goofball museums and stuff to do other than "white widow".

As for team building try building and smoking a "white widow windmill"...

i went there for new year it was rubbish and very expencive. £9.00 for a pint in our hotel £6 in the pubs. Nothing much to do, once you've walked around for a couple of hours you've seen it all.

Having said that i think if you go any where with the right people you will have a good time. So save your money and go to Brighton/Blackpool, depending where you live.

+1, a very boring city IMHO

Unfortunately we don't have a choice, it has to be Brussels.
I suppose Spa is just up the road.

Lived there for 9 months. Awesome city, but you have to get to know it. Centre is useless - best bars are out in the suburbs, best parties are stage parties organised by the commission.

Was great in my mid-twenties.

Useless for a weekend of team building though. Go somewhere else.

Beer, chips, mayo, porn.

Not much else.

Agree with that. Used to live about 20 minutes outside of Brussels. It's not really a place you can arrive at an party, but once you get to know it, great city and country.
