If you're lucky enough to time your visit to Brussels when the flower carpet is displayed, you won't be disappointed. The wait for the view from the city hall balcony is well worth it, especially since you get a sneak peak at the inside of the building. Also worthwhile is watching the massive number of volunteers arranging the flower design.... More

Once every two years, the huge plaza is covered with live flowers in a unique design. Beautiful! It is held in August and should be scheduled for August 2012. The attached photo was taken August 2004. Each time is a different design More

Every two years, a wonderful display of colours on the Grand-Place. It only lasts three days though. So be on time. It is worth a trip to Brussels. More

They cover the main square in a rug made completely of flowers. The pictures look amazing and it lasts only 3 days. If you get a chance to see it, lucky you. I only saw the photographs. More

... since afterwards the flowers are suffering from the exposure to the sun. But still it is amazing to look at! All my respect for the hard and accurate work of the people arranging those thousands of flowers. From my point of view it is not necessary to pay for the visit to the Town hall's balcony - the view... More

Every two years this carpet of flower petals spreads out over the Grand Place magical over night. It last for only three days before the unique design and display is swept away forever only to be seen again on postcards and photos. More

Happens for a very short while in Summer so best to do some research before going. Walk around but also enter one of the pubs nearby and appreciate the view from a balcony table upstairs More
