5 days from Brussels

I asked a similar question a couple of months ago centered on art. This is more of a general question. We are flying into Brussels airport on July 27th at 19:25 and out of Brussels on August 2nd at 17:00, six nights and five full days. Right now the plan is half the time in Antwerp and half the time in Lille.

If you were doing that, what two places would you go? Or one place? Interested in anywhere that's not Ghent, Brussels, Bruges, Amsterdam or Harlaam, as we have been there. I'm not interested in what might match my interests, I'm really more interested in what other people would do if they had this agenda.

I generally dont respond to posts asking for things to do if the poster wont indicate what types of things interest them. To me that's a waste of both our times. However, having stayed in Lille, with a car, we spent most of our time exploring nearby WWI battle sites, memorials and cemeteries. There's more than enough historic and cultural sites within the city to easily fill a day or two.

Thanks CJean. I didn't write it well. I'm not asking for things to do or places to go. I'm pretty sure what we are going to do. I'm interested in what others do, that was my reason for the post. Sure, maybe someone suggests something that sounds interesting and I might think about doing it, but this was meant more to see what other posters thought was interesting for themselves. For once I was not trying to fish about ideas for myself! I'm one of those people who actually enjoys looking at other people's travel pictures!
