It depends on what you want to do and what is your budget. If you want a younger party scene, you may want to go to Antwerp where there are lots of clubs. Brussels has a lot of culture and is very international. Lots of great restaurants everywhere. The Grand Place in Brussels is definitely something to see and experience both in the day and evening. Brugge is also very nice and has many little canals (like a mini-Venice) and you can take boat tours. There are many places to stay that range from the very affordable youth hostels to some luxury hotels. Waterloo is just outside of Brussels so you if you stayed in Brussels you could spend a day in Waterloo. I believe there are some tours that take you through Brussels and through Waterloo as well. I live in Waterloo and it is a very nice area and the Butte du Lion is very close to wear I live. I believe another user mentioned that museum and battlefield that is found there. If you are a history buff, that is very nice too. Belgium is famous for great beer and food so you have to come to enjoy the local favorites.

its depends. Belgium is a small country but with many interesting cities. The capital Brussels is worth seeing, also Antwerp, Ghent and of course Bruges.
Depending your financial possibilities you can stay in a hostel or in a 5 stars hotel. To you the choice.

Brussels is fun, antwerp is nice and historic with a nice river-side restuarants, the beaches on the coast should be good as well. In France i stayed in Novatels and if they have then in belgium (am sure they do) they come highly recommended (not expensive and good service/good accomodation)

Apart from Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Gent, I recommend the ARDENNES and Eastern Belgium (Eupen, close to the border to Germany)...

You can never go wrong with Holiday Inn. I stayed there just this past weekend for 50 Euro a night. It was a decent size, great service, and breakfast included. It was called Brussels-Schuman.
