Josaphat Park

4.5 ·

Head to Josaphat Park in Schaerbeek, a spacious park of ancient trees and rolling paths. Cross the romantic bridge, visit the small animal farm and finish with a drink at the café.

📖

Full description

Josaphat Park is among the larger green spaces in Brussels, mixing paved paths with sloping trails across gentle hills. Mature trees, ponds, sculptures and a romantic bridge give it a varied landscape, and a small animal farm, a café and a restaurant add reasons to stay.

Community events are held here, and reviewers describe it as safe, free and welcoming. The terrain makes the walking more demanding than at the city's flatter parks, so allow about forty-five minutes at least.

It works well for families and couples in good weather.
