Most of the locations in this itinerary are within walking distance of each other, so walking is the most convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation. Additionally, Brussels has a great public transportation system, so if walking isn't your thing, consider purchasing a daily or multi-day pass that covers both buses and trains. Expect to spend around €5-€10 per day on transportation.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to nearby cities like Ghent or Antwerp, where you can continue your foodie adventure with local specialties like Belgian fries or Flemish stew. If you have less time, prioritize what interests you the most and plan accordingly. Finally, make sure to bring comfortable shoes for all the walking you'll be doing!
