Romantic Locations in Brussels for Outdoor Lovers

2. Grand Place

Brussels’ most iconic square, the Grand Place, is surrounded by ornate guildhalls and history. At night, the buildings light up, casting a romantic glow across the cobblestones. A proposal here feels grand, timeless, and unforgettable.

3. Van Buuren Gardens & Maze

Hidden away in a quiet neighborhood, these private gardens feel like a secret escape. You’ll find flowers, sculpture paths, and even a romantic hedge maze. It’s a whimsical, enchanting setting for a proposal away from the crowds.

4. Leopold Park

Nestled near the European Quarter, Leopold Park is a peaceful retreat with ponds, bridges, and trees. It’s ideal for nature lovers who want a quiet, romantic atmosphere. A proposal here feels serene, personal, and heartfelt

5. Parc du Cinquantenaire

This grand park is known for its triumphal arch, fountains, and formal gardens. The mix of greenery and classical architecture adds elegance to any moment. It’s a stately, cinematic place to pop the question.

6. At-Home

Sometimes the most heartfelt proposals happen right at home. In Brussels, you can set the scene with soft lighting on your terrace or balcony, a cozy Belgian-style dinner, and a playlist of songs that hold meaning for both of you. Add thoughtful touches like candles, local chocolates, or fresh flowers from the Marolles market to make it feel extra special. A proposal at home allows you to create a moment that’s intimate, relaxed, and uniquely yours. 

7. Budget-Friendly

A romantic proposal doesn’t have to come with a luxury price tag. Brussels offers plenty of charming, budget-friendly spots that still feel unforgettable. Watch the sunset at Place Royale or Mont des Arts Square, stroll through the elegant Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, or take a ride on the Ferris wheel during Winter Wonders or Foire du Midi. For something truly unique, catch a live music moment in the Brussels Metro—unexpected, heartfelt, and full of character.
