Traveler reviews
Dalia Sabbah
★★★★★3 years agoSo beautiful and clean and worth visiting at least once in a lifetime! It opens once a year, barely during one month, the places are quickly sold out, but it's understandable. There are two types of visites the long and short one. The long type includes a walk in the outer garden, there's a lake.. it has a slight hill that goes up, you should be aware of that. Overall it's an amazing experience!
Tiago Dias
★★★★★3 years agoWithout a doubt one of the most beautiful urban parks I've ever been to. The huge grass fields are gorgeous and perfect for an afternoon walk or picnic. The view to the atomium, to the palace or to the city center is amazing. Definitely a place to go while visiting Brussels.
