By bicycle from Brussels to Linkebeek

Starting out in vibrant Brussels, this 15 km ride takes you southwest out of the city toward the charming village of Linkebeek. Expect the first part of your journey to be on classic urban cycleways and smooth asphalt, so you’ll have an easy roll past iconic spots like the Parc de Forest or the edge of Ixelles. As you leave the city buzz behind, the route dips into quieter roads and lanes, winding through a mix of residential areas and bits of green.

There’s a gentle climb (just over 100 meters) but nothing too intense—perfect for casual riders looking to stretch their legs. Keep an eye out for sudden transitions in surfaces, with some patches of paving stones and even a hint of gravel as you approach Linkebeek.

Linkebeek is a hidden gem, famous for its rolling hills, pretty streams, and a peaceful, village vibe that feels a world away from Brussels. Perfect spot for a relaxing break or a coffee before heading back!
