Sports activities

Brussels has everything you need when it comes to sport. If you are looking to let off steam regularly, there are plenty of sports clubs and courses in the city. If you are just here on a short visit, you’ll find the facilities you need while you’re in town.

Sports clubs

If you want to do sport regularly you should get in touch with one of Brussels’s sports clubs. There are a lot of sports you can do in Brussels: from kitesurfing to underwater hockey.

The Communities are responsible for sport in Brussels, so information about sports activities is available in French or Dutch.
