Make sure you have some coins with you, whether it is to use the toilet somewhere (they ask normally around 30 Eurocent), whether it is for a parking meter or for a quick "sweet" from one of the many automats in the railway and metro stations.
Don't end up like my dear friends Gonnie and Tom (Tompt) here, needing a break without any coins! Desperate situation `-)
Note of the author
You still can survive absence of the snack, you might survive the penalty fee for not paying at the parking meter... but I don't know about the third option `-)
that could be really desperate ! Leave a Comment

It rains a lot in winter.. sometimes in summer too, but the sky is often gray... the sun shines per period.. it is funny.. in can be sunny and 2 min after rain and they sun again after 5 min. You can see that everyone has an ombrella in their bag in case of... That's not a bad idea after all. Leave a Comment

It might seem like an obvious thought, but apparently not to all who visit here. If you bring your own camera and take your own photos then you have the complete and total ability to, oh I don't know, POST YOUR OWN WORK ONLINE. Imagine, not having to pilfer others' work, it's a wild concept but a good one. Live with it. Or be electrocuted. ;-}}} This premise goes for other global locations as well. Leave a Comment

For walking around city: city (=small) backpack to have free hands for... taking pics/movie.
Depends on weather/season but always good walking shoes or boots and rain coat (or less comfortable umbrella).
Check the climate in Brussels:
World Climate
Check the weather (5-day forecast for Brussels) just before you go:
Yahoo weather
CNN weather
BBC weather
or even 10-day forecast:
The Weather Channel
For pictures at night and bad light (interiors) take a tripod.
Buy good map of Brussels (detailed with one-way street marked if you drive a car). Leave a Comment

I would recomend to bring a good camera, reflex and digital because you going to take a lot of pictures. As for me, developing the film rolls from the reflex cost so much money for the amount of pictures I take!
Bring zoom lenses and tripods with you.
If you go on walking, a small digital might be handy (weight weight!) Leave a Comment

Depends on your trip. There's everything from business to backpacking here.
An umbrella is a must as some days you see nothing but rain here and it can come suddenly. It's also not very windy apart from in January so umbrellas often survive unlike in for instance Edinburgh. With this goes of course shoes that can stand rain.
There are thousands of more pharmacies than actually needed in Belgium so you shouldn't have a problem finding what you need in Brussels. Every pharmacy has a note on its door saying where you can find the emergency pharmacy for the week in question.
Never had any problems finding photo equipment although the development is more expensive here than both in Sweden and the UK for instance.
The picture here has nothing to do with packing but shows the Arch in Parc Cinquantennaire. You can see the Belgian flag as the arch was built to celebrate independency in 1830. Leave a Comment

Brussels shares a similar climate to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. So pack an umbrella and a warm jacket or sweater, especially for those cool spring nights.
Take along ample film, or have plenty of gigabytes for your digital.

The weather here is very changeable-it can be sunny for an hour, rainy for half an hour, then sunny again. So, it's advisable to always have a raincoat or umbrella prepared! Leave a Comment

If you make the trip by car, see that your batteries are working fine... if not, don't forget to have some good "ignition cables with you" and a companion to give you some juice (electricity) to make your car start up again! Leave a Comment
