The Parc de Bmxelles, just behind Gare Centrale, and the Parc Leopold, amidst the EU buildings, are pleasantly green sanctuaries that provide a nice spot for a walk or jog. The charming hills around the Place du Grand Sablon are home to antique markets, art galleries, and cafes. Around Place au Jeu de Balle, you can practice the fine art of bargaining at the morning flea market.
