Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, Amsterdam
I'm going to Brussels and Amsterdam next month. I'll have 3 days in Brussels by myself because my husband will be working (and we're staying near the airport) so I may go to Bruges or Antwerp for a day trip. Then we're off to Amsterdam and back to central Brussels together. Anyone have any suggestions of things to do, see, eat (especially if they're a little off the beaten path--I've read the guide books)? Thanks! XO

Definitely rent bikes and just ride around the city and breeze thru Vondel Park.

In amsterdam you should visit the Albert Cuyp market and have lunch at The butcher (http://www.the-butcher.com). The Anna Frank house is also a must but go on time because there is always a long queue.
In Bruges (or Antwerp) you should definitely get some chocolates at the chocolate line (http://www.thechocolateline.be ) . You can buy the best chocolates there from the chocolatier that was voted the best in the world and who works together with Pierre Hermé.
