"Summer bike tours: Springs and fountains in Brussels"

Pedal through the history of Brussels and discover how water has shaped and enhanced the capital over the centuries. Once vital arteries indispensable for the supply of Brussels residents, fountains have transformed over time into monumental landmarks charged with symbolism. During this bike ride, we will explore the concept of "fountain" in the broad sense — a nod to the Latin fons, which simply means "source". Our itinerary will guide you through a rich variety of water points: from romantic and sculptural tributes to historical figures, masterpieces by great sculptors, but also peaceful ponds and hidden water sources. Sometimes grandiose and theatrical, sometimes discreetly concealed, each of these murmuring monuments houses its own story. Meet at Grand Hospice. Bike rental possible.
