Located just outside the city of Brussels, the glass-covered greenhouses shelter thousands of species of plants and flowers, commissioned by King Leopold II as a series of all-weather pleasure gardens.

Amazing! It is open only two weeks per year and if you are in Bruxelles between April and march I really suggest to visit the royal greenhouses. It is beautiful and well maintained. It is a fairy tail

Amazing experience. The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are located in the north of Brussels and it's only open during 3 weeks every year. Pictures always look empty, but do not be fooled, it is super crowded. There are some empty spots not accessible to the public where you can make pictures. You can choose either the short (1h30) or long (2h30) walk. Entry is only €4!
