Since 1992, Pro Velo suggests to persons from Brussels and tourists to discover Brussels according to precise themes: the architecture, literature, comics, green spaces, public art, etc... or simply biking walk.
The bike permits very pleasantly and effectively to stop in front of a facade, to visit a public place and to sit down on a terrace.Pro Velo is part of " Voir et Dire Bruxelles " which gathers associations of theme tourism (Arau, Arkadia, Itinéraires, La Fonderie, le Bus Bavard). They publish an agenda of activities and organize the Art nouveau Biennal event during the odd years (in 2009 thus).
During the Heritage Days, Pro Velo proposes guided tours in touch with the annual subject.
The departure places
The departure places of guided tours are:- The Cyclists House, 15 rue de Londres in Ixelles. (all year)
- The "Bois de la Cambre" and the Park of Woluwe (from April to October): an important crowd, by good weather, walks in front of our rent stand.
