Giro veloce in bici da Diegem a Bruxelles

This ride starts in Diegem, a small but lively suburb just outside Brussels—known for its business parks and proximity to Brussels Airport—and rolls right into the heart of the Belgian capital. It’s a 12.5 km spin, mostly along well-maintained cycleways, so you won’t have to stress about traffic for most of the journey.

The route’s pretty flat, with just a gentle rise here and there (nothing daunting, ascent is just over 22 meters overall). Surfaces are largely paved or asphalt, making for a smooth cruise; there are a couple of sections where the surface info’s missing, so be ready for a surprise patch or two.

As you approach Brussels, you’ll go from suburban calm to the bustling energy of the city, finishing near its iconic Grand Place or one of the many lively squares and cafés. It’s a great way to connect the green outskirts with city culture—plus, you can grab a Belgian waffle at the end as your reward!
