Quick ride by bicycle from Brussels to Wemmel

Ready for a pleasant ride out of the city? Start your cycling adventure in the vibrant heart of Brussels, famous for its medieval Grand Place, waffles, and cosmopolitan buzz. Your route takes you north on mostly paved, cyclist-friendly paths (think smooth roads and dedicated cycleways!), leaving the urban hustle behind for a quieter, greener vibe.

You’ll pedal through a mix of bustling city streets and chill suburban roads—perfect for spotting street art and classic Belgian architecture on the way. The overall ride is pretty gentle, with less than 100 meters of ascent, so it’s great for all levels. Keep an eye out for a few stretches of concrete and cobblestones (classic Belgian touch!), though most of your journey will be smooth sailing.

Your destination, Wemmel, is a peaceful Flemish town just outside the Brussels ring. It’s known for its scenic parks and the charming old church at its center. With just over 15 km under your belt, you’ll arrive refreshed and ready to explore a different side of greater Brussels!
