Quick ride by bicycle from Dilbeek to Brussels

This friendly ride takes you from the green edges of Dilbeek right into the vibrant heart of Brussels—perfect if you’re looking to swap some suburban calm for city buzz! Starting in Dilbeek, a laid-back Flemish town known for its charming parks and historic water mills, you’ll pedal along mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycleways (no scary main streets here). The route is nicely paved—mostly smooth asphalt and paving stones—which lets you enjoy the scenery and relax.

You’ll cruise downhill more than you’ll climb (no monster hills to dread!), and before you know it, the cityscape starts to open up. Brussels welcomes you with its rich blend of architecture, bustling squares, and that unmistakable energy. At only about 10 kilometers, it’s an easy ride—enough to justify a Belgian waffle or two at the end! Whether you’re commuting or exploring, this route is a great way to see the best of both worlds.
