Anyone who claims that Brussels is a boring Eurocratic city should head to the northern part of the city until August 10th, where 3,000 tons of sand from the North Sea will be brought to the part of the Brussels canal next to the Sainctelette square to create a real seaside resort called Bruxelles les Bains.
Every year, the city authorities try to make their project even more attractive for visitors, so along the roughly kilometer long embankment or "beach" you can find various stalls with food and products by young creators, and in addition to sunbathing, you can also play sports or listen to music on the beach. music from all over the world.
For a truly authentic enjoyment of the joys of the sea in the middle of a big city, a series of palm trees and exotic plants adorn the embankment for a little over a month. For the twelfth year, it brings to the beach broadcasts of operas and film classics on the big screen, music festival Let it Beach, beach volleyball, climbing wall, and night birds can have fun in two ways at Club Croisetteke or in Boat Club, which is actually a three-hour boat trip on the canal, and of course with plenty of good music and drinks.
