Traveler reviews
George Ntounas
★★★★★2 months agoIt is right in the heart of Brussels, close to the Royal Palace, and offers a peaceful green break from the busy city streets. It is a nice place for a walk, photos, or just a short rest while exploring the centre. The mix of history, location and calm atmosphere makes it worth visiting.
