Advice for upcoming summer trip

My friend and I are going to see BTS in Brussels this summer (yes we are super excited!), and are trying to decide if we should stay in Brussels after the show for two nights or travel to Antwerp instead? If we travel to Antwerp do you recommend any hotels to stay in?

We return to London by Eurostar afterwards, so we don't need to worry about flying back to the US right away. Thanks in advance for your advice!

What time does the show finish?

It makes no sense to head for Antwerp after the concert if the concert finishes late - plus the Bruxelles-Midi train station area is not the best late at night, and probably the station in Antwerp is not much different (there is a no-go zone there also I believe). I would certainly spend a couple of nights in Brussels if you are at least spending one night. You would have to come back to Brussels for Eurostar anyway.

I would start the next day with a brunch at La Fabrique en Ville in Parc Egmont (reservations highly recommended). It's the in place for a late breakfast, very pretty.

Totally agree that traveling late at night is not safe, so the plan was to either leave the next day for Antwerp or stay in Brussels two more nights and sight see. We are thinking of a bike or food tour. Maybe see some art, but trying to find more unusually spots to visit. I will try to make reservations, and if you have any other favorite spots let me know. I also definitely want to eat some good liege waffles too. :)

I don't know where your concert is being held but if it is in Forest, you could have a look at WIELS:

This is a contemporary art centre, largely overlooked by tourists because it is so far out of the centre. See if it fits into your plans!

Forest might be a bit too small for BTS 😉.
It's in the King Baudouin Stadium.
