Brussels is cheap

And now you have a good reason to go. So: if it's Tuesday... actually if it's March 2-4, 2007, it must be the Brussels Art Festival, or BRXL Bravo. (Special thanks to my source: a special Frommer's article on world events and festivals.)

It is probably too late too book a weekend stay in Brussels (at a decent price,) but if you happen to be there the weekend of 2-4 March, you might want to take advantage of the special 3-day pass that costs a mere 10 €, which will give you access to all 200 events taking place in Brussels. Here's more info about what to do in Belgium, if you are interested: Belgium Tourism Office.

Actually, I just checked, and I must swallow my words. It turns out that a 3-night stay, with flights leaving JFK at 7:20 pm, would only cost $564 per person, provided that you bring a (boy)(girl)friend/spouse. The source? European Destinations.
