FLOWER CARPET ON THE GRAND PLACE OF BRUSSELS

A million begonias for... one single carpet? This is certainly an extraordinary achievement. The famous Carpet of Flowers covers 1,800 m² right in the centre of the Grand Place. These flowers offer a wide range of vivid and glowing colours and easily resist the burning sun. After all, the craftsmen assemble them directly on the cobble-stones of the square without a layer of soil. The coloured plant tapestry can be admired best from the balcony of the City Hall, which is open to the public for the occasion.

This event takes place every two years (on even years).

Panoramic visit from 9 am until 11 pm - 3 € - children (<12 year) have free access to the balcony of the Town Hall.

The leaflet on the flower carpet is available at the BI-TC - Brussels Information and Tourist Office - Town Hall, Grand'Place.
