Brussels may not be the most obvious summer destination, and that is exactly what makes it so rewarding to explore. When the sun comes out, the city changes pace. Parks become meeting places, terraces fill with life, cultural venues move outside and the capital takes on a lighter, more spontaneous atmosphere.

There is plenty to enjoy in Brussels this summer. Settle into one of the Guinguettes Barc in the city’s parks, discover the relaxed addresses by Woodpecker, take in the skyline from Soko Rooftop or spend a summer evening at Vaux-Hall Summer in the Royal Park. Active visitors can head towards the canal with CRBK, while culture lovers can explore Les Brigittines or the Van Buuren Museum & Gardens. For a sweet summer break, Brussels ice cream spots such as Glacier Zizi and Oui Oui are always worth adding to the day. For Pool is Cool, check the latest updates around open-air swimming in Brussels.
