Looks like I have to goto Brussels next week for business.

I'll have all of Tuesday and morning of Friday all to myself (trying to extending the trip to Sunday but awaiting pricing). Anyone know of any good spots in the city? Since I don't have much time, I would like to maximize the time with a little help from POTN-ers.

For sure the Grand Place is a good place to start with. Beautiful and old buildings. Very touristic, though. There are many old pubs. Belgium is famous for its beers ans some of the taverns in the Grand Place area have more than 1000 different beers. These are nice places with different atmospheres. Good places to avoid the clichés of Brussels (the Atomium, the Grand Place). If you like landmarks you can always go the European Union buildings (the Parliament, the European Commission).
What do you like to shoot most? Buildings? People?

There ought to be a website where the best shooting spots in each city were listed.

People, but in a studio only so far. Outside I have been doing sports, and flower macros for a couple of months.
