Loving running at Bois de La Cambre. I love the nature, it's fresh air... This place has a great…read morerunning trail, and I mean is just gorgeous, I don't even get bored and most confess that after years choosing this spot for a run I still get surprised finding a new spot. Is very well conserved, which gives me great joy, to see that everybody is conscious on keeping this beauty alive. I used to live right in front of it and back then I didnt like all the dust in my terrace, now, living few blocks away yelp!!! I go everynow and then.

One of the most beautiful parks just a few kilometers off Avenue Louise. Most people go to Bois de…read morela Cambre for a walk on a sunny day; I do my running trainings there. One big loupe all the way from avenue Louise is 4.5 km and the smaller loupe around the lake 2.5 km. There is also the entrance to the forest if you really want to get lost in nature. A great choice for a hike, walk or run very close to Brussels' busy neighborhood

J'ai eu une expérience très décevante dans cette piscine. Des panneaux indiquent clairement qu'il…read moreest interdit de sauter dans l'eau, pourtant des enfants le faisaient sans aucune intervention du personnel. Lorsque j'ai signalé la situation, l'employé m'a répondu de manière désinvolte en me disant de "me calmer" et que les enfants avaient le droit de sauter. Cela contredit totalement les règles affichées. Encore plus incompréhensible : on m'a expliqué qu'il est interdit de sauter d'un côté, mais autorisé d'un autre. Où est la logique ? Le personnel manque clairement de professionnalisme et ne semble pas se soucier de la sécurité ni du confort des clients. Les règles devraient être appliquées de manière cohérente, et les remarques des clients prises au sérieux. Je ne reviendrai pas.

One of my fave squares in Brussels - edges out Grand Palace as it's more local and genuine. From…read morethe summertime hustling of street performers to the Christmas time markets, this square is vibrant and full of life anytime of the year. Great people watching and thus past year (2015) it's been especially great to find an empty bench and check out the cleaning of the St Catherine's church - it's smog and centuries of dirt gradually being cleaned away to reveal the white brick underneath.

We visited Place Ste Catherine for the Christmas Markets this year and it was definitely the…read morehighlight of the Brussels Christmas Market trail (which started essentially when you left Grand Place). This section had most of the stalls plus the carousels, Ferris wheel and blow up Christmas monster for kids, oh and of course Santa's Garden (or whatever it was). The stalls... and there were plenty of stalls... weren't too bad. There wasn't a huge range of stuff to look at as much of it was similar to what you'd see in other Christmas markets or what you'd see a few stalls down, but there were certainly some different things available which I hadn't seen around before. The church at the end of the markets, Ste Catherine was magnificent and towered over the markets like a dominating force. It was nice!

The pool is almost always quite free of people and you can swim (or try to not drown) freely. The prices are uahaha, 6 E for an outsider, that is for someone who does not live in Dilbek which is quite absurd not to mention that the people at the counter (even though I only speak to them in English) they answer in Flemish and do not seem to care so much about your first impression of the place. Well maybe they just don't like me. Anyhow the lifeguards are a breath of fresh air, always smiling and ready to help. They even let me borrow a pair of goggles when mine broke so cheers to them.
