If you only have a day to spend in Brussels, your most important tool would be a map of the city.
Personally preferred Bruxelles, mes quartiers (Brussels, my districts) because it outlined walking tours of either cartoon-strip, stone and walkways, or shopping. At the back, is a street listing and a map of the Metro.

It is easy to get a metro ticket in one of the vending machines. It is not the typical touch screen machines so you have to rotate a wheel for your options.

If you think you'll be using the metro a lot, you can get the 10 ride tickets, which can either be used by one person for 10 journeys or several persons. You only get 1 ticket but you punch it in every time you use it. Their system is kinda lax and others even get by without paying.
For me, I only took one ticket each time.
To get lost in the center, get off at Louise station, and allot a day to just wander around and see the sights.
