Sightseeing Brussels, the capital of Belgium with its population of 1.2milion, is very popular, however it might be somewhat challenging with a buggy. Some streets around the magnificent and historical Grand-Place have nice flat pavements on the sides, but most pavements are cobbled and potentially quite bumpy. Most of the city walks are flat but there is an altitude difference between the Lower City and the Upper City which can easily be ascended using the lift "Ascenseur des Marolles". Since the public transport is easy, but not always barrier-free (especially the metro) it is advisable to carefully plan your trip in advance.

Entertain your little ones in the Children’s museum (Ixelles), the Toy Museum or the Aquarium of Brussels (Koekelberg). More indoor fun is to be found in the Océade, an indoor aqua park with may slides and a wave pool. If you are looking for some green areas, spend the afternoon in the Brussels Park, in the Van Buuren Museum gardens or take the metro or the tram to the Mini-Europe, an area where you can admire miniatures of Europe’s most famous landmarks.

For older kids, enjoy the Laeken park and its Atomium, stroll through the comic strip trail (Rue des Sables), educate yourself in the Museum of Natural Science (Wiertz) or admire historical and recent cars in the Autoworld (Parc du Cinquantenaire).
