Bois de La Cambre – Preferred spot for a sunny day

This park cannot be compared to Central Park or Hide Park, but the Bois de La Cambre (Ter Cameren in Flemish) is the preferred spot for Bruxellers on a sunny day.

It has a pond, a closed street for rollerbladers, and plenty of paths to get lost in. Lots of joggers run along its sidewalks, a full lap is about 5kms, especially on weekends when it’s closed to vehicles.

But there is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic. There is the ice cream van, there is the all new Capoue stand for good ice creams or the restaurant in the middle of the pond (Chalet Robinson) that can only be reached with its small ferry and from where you can rent a small boat to cruise the lake (April to October).

A bit further away you reach “La Patinoire“, another restaurant offering a skating rink (open Wednesday and weekends if the weather is good) and pony riding (weekends).

And if you stay long enough in the evening, don’t miss the parties at Jeux d’Hiver and The Wood.
