Quick ride by bicycle from Tervuren to Brussels

Fancy a scenic spin from Tervuren to the heart of Brussels? This roughly 16 km route is perfect for cyclists wanting an easy-going ride, mostly on paved surfaces—expect smooth asphalt and even some stretches of classic Belgian cobblestone to keep things interesting. The route is cycleway-heavy, meaning you’ll be enjoying plenty of car-free paths and quiet roads.

Start in Tervuren, known for its stunning park and the imposing Royal Museum for Central Africa. Pedal through leafy suburbs and green corridors, gradually descending towards Brussels—so you’ll get a helping hand from gravity overall! With just over 110 meters of ascent and more downhill, this route is as friendly to beginners as to regular cyclists.

As you approach Brussels, you'll trade tree-lined avenues for the city’s lively streets, ending up right in the historic center. Take in the Grand Place or reward yourself with a Belgian waffle—you’ve earned it!
