House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
The landscaped park around the Minnewater 'Lake of Love', with mature plane trees, gravelled paths and a swan-filled basin beside the UNESCO-listed Begijnhof. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park, and the south meadow is the de facto off-leash run for locals at golden hour.
A continuous 7 km car-free, tree-lined ramparts loop encircling the entire historic center, passing four surviving medieval gates and four windmills. The grass meadow around the Sint-Janshuismolen windmill is a local favorite off-leash run.
An interactive beer museum in the historic center where visitors walk through exhibits on Belgian brewing and finish with tasting pours. Unusually for a museum, dogs are invited to walk through with you on a leash.
