## Woluwe Valley Sunset Walk | Walk Around Brussels This Summer

📅 Saturday 11 July 2026

### Can you walk around Brussels in one summer?

After last year's successful edition, we're bringing back the Promenade Verte Summer Challenge.

Over seven Saturdays this summer, we'll follow Brussels' iconic Green Walk and gradually complete a full circle around the Brussels-Capital Region — exploring forests, valleys, parks, nature reserves and hidden green spaces while sharing the journey with fellow adventurers.

Our first stage takes us through the beautiful Woluwe Valley, one of the greenest and most scenic sections of the route.

This is not a race and it's not just a hike.

It's a chance to slow down, spend time outdoors, meet new people, discover a different side of Brussels and be part of a shared summer challenge.

We'll start in the afternoon so everyone can enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning before joining us for nature, conversations and the beautiful golden light of a summer evening.

Whether you're an expat, an international professional, a local explorer or someone simply looking for a great community experience, you're welcome to join us.

## 🌍 Event Type

Community Event

Volunteer-led social walking experience organised by Sunday Vacations.

## 🎯 The Challenge

The Promenade Verte is a green route of more than 60 kilometres that circles the entire Brussels Region.

Throughout Summer 2026, our goal is to complete the full loop together, one section at a time.

🏅 Join one stage or join them all.

🌿 Complete all seven walks and proudly say you've walked around Brussels.

People often join experiences like these not only for the activity itself but also for the opportunity to connect with others and share meaningful moments together.
