As the leaves turn red, gold and ochre, Brussels reveals a wonderfully peaceful side. The Belgian capital is filled with parks, gardens and woodland where you can escape the rhythm of the city. With its central location and minimalist, Japanese-inspired atmosphere, Yadoya Hotel makes a relaxing base for an autumn break.

Start in the heart of Brussels

Brussels Park stretches between the Royal Palace and the Federal Parliament. Its elegant avenues and classical statues are softened by the colourful leaves of beech, maple, lime and chestnut trees. For a different atmosphere, visit Josaphat Park in Schaerbeek. Its winding paths, open lawns, sculptures and remarkable trees make it feel like an open-air museum.

Spend a day surrounded by nature

For a longer walk, head to the Bois de la Cambre or the Sonian Forest. The Bois de la Cambre combines wide lawns, ponds and wooded paths. The Sonian Forest is Brussels’ green lung, offering hours of walking beneath impressive beech trees. Rouge-Cloitre is another beautiful autumn destination. Its ponds, meadows and woodland create a peaceful landscape that feels far removed from the city. After a day outdoors, return to the simplicity and harmony of Yadoya Hotel. Warm up, slow down and plan your next Brussels adventure.
