Have a walk in the parks of Brussels!

When we think about cities, we often think of great buildings, museums and architectural sites. As a medieval city and home to many artists, Brussels offers a lot of touristic attractions. Nevertheless, the capital of Europe and its multicultural population has much more to offer. It is one of the greenest cities of Europe with 8,000 hectares of green places, nearly half of the Brussels area territory, even though the vast majority of those locates on the outskirts. 

Most of the green spaces of the city are managed by Bruxelles Environnement, the authority in charge of the land development within the capital. Among the biggest areas, you can wander in the Bois de la Cambre and the Soignes Forest where a rich fauna and flora thrive. In order to enjoy your visit even more, little settlements for having drinks or eat a snack, playgrounds for children and even lakes or ponds have been created.
