Brussels day trip

I%26#39;m planning to visit Brussels for a day trip (about 7 hours), so far I have added the following places in my itinerary:

Manneken Pis

Grand Place

Palais Royal de Bruxelles

Atomium %26amp; Mini-Europe

Do you guys think if I have enough time to visit them all? Shall I visit anything else that worth to see? I%26#39;d appreciate your feedback!

Dont forget the Grande and Petite Sablon areas.

I think that the Atomium and Mini-Europe might be a stretch - they aren%26#39;t near the center of the city, so you have to consider travel time to and from. Also, when we were there (a Monday in August) the line for the Atomium took awhile. It might be different when you go, but be prepared that there might be a line.

As you will be in and around the Grand%26#39; Place anyway I would add the Galeries St. Hubert, but can see no point in going to see the royal palace given that you can%26#39;t go in unless you are coming before 13 September.

I also wouldn%26#39;t bother with the Sablon area if you are only here for the day, unless perhaps it was a Sunday when shops elsewhere are closed. But then I wouldn%26#39;t bother with Mini-Europe either! It%26#39;s all a matter of taste.

You could take a hop-on, hop-off bus from Gare centrale after you have seen the Grand%26#39; Place (where buses can%26#39;t go in), this passes by the palace (as well as the Sablon) and give you a general view of the city while also providing transport to and the Atomium, which could be the only stop you get off at. Without getting off, I believe the complete circuit takes 1h30 mins.
