The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken
May 13 – June 9, 2021
https://agenda.brussels/en/511122/opening-of-the-royal-greenhouses-of-laeken
The royal greenhouses of Laeken will be open to the public this year from May 13 to June 6. That is one month later than usual.
The visit starts with a walk of about two kilometres through the gardens of the Royal Domain. Following that, visitors can explore the large greenhouses: the Embarcadère, the Congoserre, the Winter Garden and the Orangerie. The small greenhouses with their many flowers cannot be visited, as it is not possible for visitors to keep a distance there.
Open during the day and the evening, but our recommendation is to go at dusk for an especially magical experience.
Visitors must book a time slot online.
