★★★★★a year agoParc Elisabeth is a hidden gem in the heart of Brussels, offering a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. The park is beautifully maintained with lush green spaces, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing picnic. The tree-lined paths and charming flowerbeds add to the serene atmosphere, making it a great spot for nature lovers. There's plenty of space for kids to play, and the park is dotted with benches for those who just want to sit and enjoy the view. It’s also a wonderful place for photography, especially with the stunning backdrop of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Whether you're a local or a tourist, Parc Elisabeth is definitely worth a visit!

★★★★★4 years agoPleasantly windy, flat paths to stroll, go for a jog, or cycle. Amazing view of the Basilica Church, a playground for kids, and lovely spots for a picnic. Is also close to the Simonis metro station
