Top 10 Things To See And Do In Woluwe-St-Pierre Brussels

Woluwe-St-Pierre (WSP) is a residential municipality of Brussels, not far away from the city center. It is situated in the south-east part of Brussels and is considered one of the most prosperous and greenest areas of the capital of Europe, making it perfect for a more laid-back approach to discovering the city.

1. Visit Woluwe Park

Park

In general, Belgians are pretty serious regarding the protection and preservation of their city’s green areas. You will find Woluwe Park right at the intersection of Tervueren Avenue and Souverain Boulevard; dedicate a few hours to make the tour and admire nature at its finest. Various species find refuge in the park and its ponds (Étang Rond and Étang Long), so be prepared to see a few ducks, swans, gulls and rabbits during your tour.

Travel down the old Bruxelles-Tervueren railway

This old railway line was the connecting link between Quartier Léopold in Brussels and the center of Tervueren village. Currently, it is a magnificent walk for pedestrians and cyclists, and it runs through the municipalities of WSP and Auderghem. Make sure to walk the entire length of this path for another dose of nature’s beauty.

Explore the Stockel area

All around Dumon Square in Stockel, you can probably find everything you may need, including all kinds of shops, places to eat or have a coffee, a movie theater and much more. There is also an open-air market every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday (marché de Stockel). Don’t miss the mural painting of Tintin, an outstanding work courtesy of Bob de Moor and the Studio Hergé. It is inside the metro station of Stockel, and if you are a Hergé fan (or a comic art fan in general), you will be able to identify more than 140 characters that are represented from no less than 22 Tintin comic strips.

Check out Maison Gombert

This building is the work of the architect Huib Hoste, made for the engineer Gombert. You may be interested to know that in 1995, it was declared as a monument by the relevant authorities of Brussels. It is truly an eye-catching six-level construction, built on an inclined and triangular landscape, and is currently owned by a company to house its own offices.
