Brussels is one of the greenest of Europe’s capitals, making the city a great place to walk, cycle or run. The heavy rainfall in the city can be a deterrent, though. Luckily, the capital has made the most of the fitness craze with an abundance of both indoor and outdoor health clubs and spas to make days a little less grey.
Recommended fitness facilities in Brussels
Aspria
