Vilvoorde

The city comes alive along the canal, where old industry gives way to fresh innovation and urban renewal. You'll also find beautiful parks, colorful street art and a glimpse of the future.

Strolling along the canal

The Brussels-Scheldt Canal once gave Vilvoorde its industrial strength and is today a tourist asset. You can embark there for a cruise to the heart of Brussels and back. Along the canal is the new KanaalPark and the Kruitfabriek, a remaining piece of industrial heritage, brings life to it with exhibitions, concerts and markets.

More than 70 street artworks color the city and at the Tuchthuis, the country's second modern prison, a tour of corridors and cells is downright impressive.

At Living Tomorrow, you get a glimpse of how we will live and work tomorrow. Peace and quiet can be found in the parks, especially Park Three Fountains with its English and French gardens, and Hanssens Park with its cast-iron bridge. Asiat Park, a former military site, in turn bustles with culture, sports and outdoor events.

"Fresh urban renewal and eight elegant parks."
