Itinéraires AMO Brussels

Indoor climbing

Davy from Brussels

About me I adore all things past, so I studied History in Ghent. I also like to read books, so I came to Brussels to study English literature. I stuck around. I can now read books in Brussels’ historical centre. I take my bike to go to concerts, museums, the theatre, parks and bars. I love being in a bathrobe. I try to write short stories and travel the world. Why B...
""Itinéraires AMO" is my favorite climbing gym in Brussels. It's one of the cheapest, has challenging tracks and a very pleasant vibe!"

Climbing is going sky high.

Modern-day Sisyphuses gather every day in the AMO climbing gym. They climb their bodies up a wall. Having reached the top, they descend again. They know they can get cramps or uncontrollable trembling arms. Their bones can suffer. Their knees can get bruised and skinned. Yet they begin again, take another route, incessantly, without ever accomplishing any final goal. That's why they've got a subscription.

The last couple of years, climbing has risen and has become quite popular. Indoor climbing spaces pop up and get filled with climbing-enthusiasts. I'm one of those climbing Sisyphuses as well (not a very good one, but that just means that I get to enjoy more of those sudden exciting Falls into Nothingness).

AMO is my favorite climbing gym in Brussels. It's one of the cheapest, has challenging tracks and there's a very pleasant vibe. If you're a climbing newbie and you don't have any of the materials, you can use a belt and grigri for free! The only thing AMO does not rent out are climbing shoes, for the olfactory well-being of us all. But if you're a beginner, a decent pair of regular shoes will do just fine. So, no excuses: even if you're a tourist reading this, Brussels can be your first time climbing!

Then you can see for yourself - when staring at the experienced climbers defying gravity in a most gracious manner - that climbing is quite a defying art.

Brussels Spotter Davy

About me I adore all things past, so I studied History in Ghent. I also like to read books, so I came to Brussels to study English literature. I stuck around. I can now read books in Brussels’ historical centre. I take my bike to go to concerts, museums, the theatre, parks and bars. I love being in a bathrobe. I try to write short stories and travel the world. Why Brussels? Although Brussels has some big and ugly skyscrapers, people are mostly down-to-earth. I can buy and eat snails on the street. I can go to the bakery dressed in...

Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

La Cambre Abbey Brussels

La Cambre Abbey

Abbey, park and arts in the city

"La Cambre Abbey" is an abbey tucked away in a corner of a small square in Brussels. I'm sure most visitors never notice it. It's a precious gem.

Zinneke Brussels

Zinneke

The other statue

The "Zinneke" in Brussels is a statue of a dog that, to me, is an accurate symbol of my city with so many contrasts, but that likes to laugh about them...

Le Corbeau Brussels

Le Corbeau

Fun dancing on tables

There's nothing in Brussels like "Le Corbeau". It's a brasserie, a local restaurant/bar, but at night it becomes the opposite of Cinderella's fairytale...

Bois de La Cambre

Preferred spot for a sunny day

"Bois de La Cambre" is the preferred spot for me on a sunny day in Brussels. There is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic.

Portuguese pasteis de nata

"Garcia" in Brussels is the perfect café to have some pasteis de nata, the delicious Portuguese dessert. If I lived in Portugal, I'd be double the weight.

Parc Leopold Brussels

Parc Leopold

Little gem in the European Quarter

"Parc Leopold" is quiet, it's small and it's hidden. It's one of my favorite places to picnic in Brussels or to rest on one of the benches.
