Hi, your opinion please! Should we go in early April, or September? Assume it may be busier (and maybe more expensive, in April due to flowers, Easter, etc.. Is September a good alternative? Pros/Cons? Thank you for any advice or opinions! Karen

I can't see anything wrong with September. Weather will probably be fine, even better than early April. Everybody is back at work or school. Everything is still open and functioning.

September is really nice. My husband and I went two years ago. If you are into beer make sure to tour the La Trappe brewery.

And also the Belgium Beer Weekend in Brussels the first week of September. We went and had an awesome time.
