Sports activities

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.

The Administration de l'Éducation Physique et du Sport (ADEPS) runs Opens in new windowthree sports centres in Brussels (FR) where you can play or follow a course.

The Flemish Community Commission (VGC) has a list of Opens in new windowsports clubs and group courses for people of all ages (NL). It also keeps a database of Opens in new windowsports facilities in the Brussels-Capital Region (NL). You can filter your search by commune, discipline or keyword.

If you are only in town for a couple of days but want to keep yourself in trim, Brussels has a lot of green spaceswhere you can do some jogging. You can also criss-cross the capital by bike. In summer explore Brussels by bike or on roller blades in the Roller Bike Parade. Alternatively, take a plunge at one of Brussels’ swimming pools or keep in shape at one of the City’s gyms.

There is a Opens in new windowlist of sports halls and swimming pools (NL) on the Flemish Community Commission’s website.
