Sunset view Duden park Brussels

The best viewpoint around

Anna from Brussels

"I haven't yet been able to identify all the villages/churches marked on the small stone wall but I'm sure I will at some point!"

This is an amazing spot in Brussels to watch over this diverse city in the morning, afternoon but especially in the evening when the sun begins to set. I enjoy visiting this place at any time of the day to see if I can spot all the directions mentioned on the small stone wall. I haven't yet been able to identify all the villages/churches marked on there but I'm sure I will at some point! Sometimes I just walk around here listening to some interesting podcast while watching the Belgian skies (yes, they can be blue in fact!).

The only downside of this spot is that it can be quite dirty and neglected at times. It's not particularly well known, and with the ongoing construction on the tramline, some people tend to litter and leave their trash around. I would recommend coming in the afternoon since it sometimes becomes a youth spot for the local school kids.

I do all this because I'm a huge Brussels fan and I want to know each and every face this city has to offer, the local student bars in Ixelles, the open mic clubs in the center, and the institutional conferences taking place... I'm lucky that I have the opportunity to se...
