I loved the Flanders area, North of Belgium. Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent are some of the "must see" cities. If you like Rembrandt's Paintings, then you will love areas surrounding Zeebrugge and Ostend. Watch out! The water is very cold (even in August).
In Brussels: Places to see (some of)
Cinquantenaire Museum
Fondation Jacques Brel
Grand Place - Ilôt Sacré
Musée Horta
Musée René Magritte
Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique
Musée Bruxellois de la Gueuze (if you are interested in learning about belgian beer)
don't forget to try their chocolates.

Go to the Sablon-area (antique dealers) and to the Place Sainte-Cathérine-area. Buy the best chocolates in world at Pierre Marcolini on Place du Grand Sablon.
On www.opbrussel.be you can find several nice thematic walks (art nouveau, comic strips).
On sundays, go for a nice walk to the Bois de la Cambre or Forêt de Soignes. There is also a great market near Gare de Midi on sunday mornings.
For shopping, go to the Avenue Louise-area.
For a real "diner bruxellois", go to Viva M'Boma (Rue de Flandre 17, near Place Sainte-Cathérine). For a drink, there are several nice cafés "branchés" on Place Saint-Géry.
If you want to go out of Brussels, Leuven is a nice and small Flemish city at about 30 kms from Brussels.

You will definitely not miss the most beautiful square in Europe, Grand Place. If you are interested in art, a visit to the royal museum of art is a must (they have the classic department with flemish painters and the modern art, with impressionists, Dali, Magritte etc). Most people also visit Bruges, which is in a short distance by train and very picturesque, but I prefer Antwerp.

If you are there, you almost HAVE TO see the Mannequin Piss (Manneken Pis) statue.
If you can go out of Brussels, go visit one of the great World War 1 battlefields (Ypres).

I would go to foodnetwork.com and try to find Rachel Ray's show she did about a weekend there. It was really interesting and budgeted out as well.
