A Stroll in Bois de la Cambre in Brussels

It is a general misconception that Brussels is a grey city; with its 19 municipalities each having at least one park at its disposal, it is actually one of the greenest European capitals. Go away from the centre and you will find yourself in one of the magnificent forests surrounding Brussels.

With an area covering 1.23 square kilometres, the Bois de la Cambre is one of the biggest parks in Brussels. It is located in the south of the Belgian capital and its easily accessible with public transport. There is a lake in the park, with an island in it, called Robinson's Island. The building that you can see in one of the pictures is called La Cambre Abbey.
