Quick ride by bicycle from Drogenbos to Brussels

Kick off your ride in Drogenbos, a small but vibrant suburb just outside the Brussels ring, known for its unique blend of green spaces and industrial heritage. The route to central Brussels is just under 11 km and follows mostly paved surfaces, making it a smooth trip for all types of bikes. You'll enjoy plenty of dedicated cycleways (about 70% of the route!), so it’s a comfortable and safe option whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend explorer.

You'll skirt through tranquil neighborhoods and small parks, with gentle elevation changes—the biggest climb is only about 24 meters, so you won’t be huffing and puffing. As you get closer to Brussels, the city’s energy gradually builds. Brussels, of course, is the heart of European politics and a lively mix of grand squares, art nouveau architecture, and world-famous chocolate shops—perfect for a post-ride treat. All in all, it’s a pleasant, approachable ride connecting the quieter outskirts to the bustle of the Belgian capital.
