A staggering piece of art - the length of six buses

Whilst the ornate beauty and design of The Brussels Flower Carpet is something to take one's breath away, more phenomenal still is its sheer size. At around 77 meters long and 24 metres high, it is larger than six buses parked in front of one another!

The Brussels Flower Carpet gives you the opportunity to experience not only the world renowned flower carpet - but also the beautiful and architecturally rich Grand-Place, a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Grand-Place - as rich in history as it is in beauty!

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and having suffered near total destruction in the 1600's, the city square has become known for being one of the most beautiful in the world. Home to an eclectic mix of building styles, it offers guests the opportunity to explore museums and government buildings, among others.

A festival of flowers, fireworks, and music

The Brussels Flower Carpet offers both day and night time delights. Each evening a concert is performed, offering the thrill of a musical and lighting performance to accompany the incredible flower carpet. With easy access by bus, car or bicycle, there really is no good reason not to partake in this beautiful and unusual festival.
