50 Hidden Gems
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.

Bois de La Cambre Brussels

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.

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.

Altitude 100 Brussels

Altitude 100

Highest point in town

"Altitude 100" in Brussels is a fascinating place in the commune of Forest in Brussels. I like it's a church in the center of a big roundabout!

Cemetery of Brussels

In the city of the dead

The "Cemetery of Brussels" (opened in 1877) was designed as an English landscape garden - get lost among avenues and cobbestone streets here...
