Brussels: Activities

• golf

  Among the many golf courses in and around Brussels, the 18-hole Royal Amicale Golf Club is a standout.

• jogging

  There are excellent jogging routes through beautiful greenways such as Parc de Bruxelles and Parc du Cinquantenaire.

• swimming

  Brussels offers a dozen public pools for water nymphs and visitors who have overindulged in fine chocolate and need to lose a few kilos.

• ice skating

  Come winter, head to to Marché aux Poissons near the Grand Place to experience one of the world's most picturesque ice skating rinks, set up for just a few weeks in December.

• cross-country

  The hilly Ardennes in southeastern Belgium are the country's winter playground; cross-country skiing is the main attraction.

• cycling

  Cycling in Brussels isn't for the faint-hearted, although there are some bike lanes around.

• indoor games

  Fancy a game of tennis in Kim or Justine's home country? There are a range of indoor activities available in town, and not just for the pros, from gyms to courts set aside for squash and tennis.

• chess

  If you're feeling more cerebral, you can head to Le Greenwich, an old world cafe known for its no-holds-barred chess tournaments.
