    The area is very nice both for the nature and for the Abbey. Some areas can be crowded in the weekends especially on June and July

    Parc de Bruxelles is located just across Royal Palace and considered as Royal Park. Copying Versailles, the Habsburg empress Maria Theresa of Austria (Marie-Antoinette's mom) had this symmetrical park laid out in 1776 (she ruled but never visited, the city). This is one of many large parks of Brussels, which started with an awareness of the importance of city planning. Honestly, the park is just a park, nothing special, just take a walk, sit and breathe. And if it weren’t for the funny sculptures scattered along the alley, there’s not much to do or see there.

    A lovely green spot away from the hustle and bustle of Place Jourdan on a Sunday morning. You can stroll round the small lake or sit on the grass. There is also a small playground that looked well maintained. There are a few Egyptian geese on the lake and you can hear the green parakeets squawking even if you can’t see them.

    A park designed for the World’s Fair, it is a quiet place for a run. While it looks very large on the map, the majority of the park is off limits to the public. However, you can run to other parks for a longer run but you will be on the street for some of the time.

    This is located in central area of Brussels and ideal for a walk in busy city. Also recommended to read a book and relax on a bench in this garden. Could be busy at times. Attention also to sun as there are no shady areas and can be very hot in summer time. Good place for a photo from the stairs in front of the garden.

    We were staying local so this was on our doorstep.
    Beautiful park with many interesting paths to walk.
    Spread over many levels and dotted with various statues park was a pleasure to walk through.
    Beautiful trees all over and interesting ponds.
    All we were missing was our dog!

    If you have time to get out of the city of Brussels a stroll in this Red Cloister park is a great escape. It is a Natura 2000 site, and has some rare bird species. It also has a play ground for kids. When we visited they were renovating the buildings and the café was unfortunately closed. But it was still a nice walk.

    Parc d'Egmont - Egmont Park is situated between Rue aux Laines and Blvd de Waterloo and is open from 8am to 8pm daily. This public garden was originally part of the Egmont Palace in the 16th-century. The layout was altered and changed a few times over the centuries.

    What you see today is an English-style park and garden that was designed in 1902 with open green space surrounded by mature trees with a handful of monuments of Peter Pan and Prince Louis-Eugene de Ligne, walking path as well as a bistro with delightful outdoor seating.

    Overall, Egmont Park is a nice public park fairly close to Petit Sablon for those looking for green space and quiet leisure grounds in the area.

    Brussels is great as a greenish city with lots of places where greenery is well kept and you can have a quiet walk...!

    This enclosed little parc (less than 5 acres) is both lovely and well-kept. There are benched to sit under a rich variety of beautiful trees and sloping, winding paths for a stroll. Kids have their own playground. Closed in the evening and at night.

    This is a huge center city park very well landscaped. Lots of green space to explore when you get tired of the built-up area. Look for the amazing and troubling memorial to King Leopold and the horrible colonial period.

    This is a huge urban park in Brussels. A bit away from the tourist area, Parc Elisabeth is a lush place for a stroll. It also offers a nice view of the encompassing National Basilica.
