Hop on your bike and discover Uccle/Ukkel's Art Nouveau and Art Deco heritage! This guided bicycle tour will take you through the streets of the old village of Uccle/Ukkel, which experienced an unprecedented wave of urbanisation in the late 19th century.

The grand new avenues and easy access into the city made Uccle/Ukkel a highly sought-after place to live for Brussels residents, and its meteoric expansion resulted in many architectural gems, which are now dotted around the municipality.

The tour will end at La Ferme Rose, which will be hosting a talk entitled New perspectives on Art Nouveau, starting at around 16:00. Everyone taking part in a bicycle tour will receive a free copy of Natrimoine magazine.

Please note: Bicycles will not be provided – participants must bring their own. Need to hire a bike? Contact Pro Velo by emailing info@provelo.org or calling +32 (0)2 502 73 55.

In cooperation with the Culture Department of the Municipality of Uccle/Ukkel and Pro Velo.
