Went to see the exhibition this past weekend and I absolutely loved it! It was spectacular! Tulips are amazing, all kinds. This was also the weekend of Venetian Masks parade and I also loved this, too. Some of them were a bit tacky, true, but most of them were really beautiful. For me it was a double spectacle: the flowers and the masks.
The place is a bit far away from Brussels city center, so do take that into account regarding price, but it is reachable by buses. Price is 15e for adults, you have to pay extra for going to the toilet (0,50e every time), which I find a bit exaggerated since I already purchased an entrance. You can find parking next to the Castle, but it is 4e. there-s also another parking a little bit down the road, but it is limited to only 2hrs.
You can also find a cafeteria with stuff to enjoy outside, next to the beautiful tulips, and an indoors exhibition of different flowers (roses, orchids, callas, etc).
All in all, for me it was totally worth it because I love flowers and Venetian masks, so it was the perfect combination. I totally recommend it!

The blooming season is short but all of the tulips are so beautiful--think a smaller version of Keukenhof without the crowds. Aside from the flowers, the grounds are lush and perfect for strolling and picture taking.

In the grounds of Chateau de Grand Brigard are the spacious gardens and small lake where you can wander around. The floral display of the Peacock is stunning as are the willow sculptures and the Pieter Bruegel scenes on boards around the grounds.

Magnificent display of over a million tulips,this year flower displays with pictures from Pieter Bruegel the Elder, showing many scenes telling a story of people with various customs with humour.

We had a great time, the flowers are just splendid and our daughter of 3 was charmed. It is kind of expensive, though: the ticket is 14eur per person and then they charge you for the toilets and the food/drinks cost double price, and you are not allowed to bring your own food and picnic.

Went here on Easter Saturday with friends, Car park is free in a field. The house was not open to the public but you can climb the tower. The flowers were fantastic the tulips particularly fantastic when we went. I think the daffodils would have been really good a week or so ago. The green house had a fabulous display of spring flowers.

This is beautiful! Amazing displays of flowers. As I walked I saw more and more groupings of flowers that were jaw dropping!

Last weekend we came across a very nice castle (which normally is closed for the public) where there was a flower show. More than a million bulbs are planted on a 14 hectare ground surrounding the castle. 2 cathes in 1. They had paintings in garden which you will surtanly admire. The castle is a castle should look like with a nice 14 century tower what you can climb into the top. From there you can oversee the garden . An absolute winner

How do I get there from Antwerp
Ivan R

By car. Take the E19 to Brussels. Follow the E19 around Brussels (ring). Then you will see an exit to groot bijgaarden. Follow this to the centre. Ok once in the centre (you arrive at square) you go to the left and immediately to the right.
Follow this road (not very far) and at a sharp turn you can park at the left (you have to drive in a field). The castle and flowers are across the street. Enjoy.

Pour 2018 quel moment conseillez vous pour profiter d'un maximum de floraison ? Quel bus touristique pour y aller au départ de Bruxelles ?

I saw that the chateau will be open from 6 April to 6 May for Floralia,but can I visit the outskirts and take some photos of the castle without going inside as it won't be open for public the days before?

Hello from Floralia Brussels!
It's possible to take a few pictures from the bridge, if the winter hasn't been too cold you might already see flowerbeds with blossoming tulips.
Enjoy your trip to Belgium.
Kind regards,
Nicole

Por Mary R,
Senora,
Gracias por el interés que ha mostrado usted.
El castillo es privado, no se visita. Sólo el parque está abierto en abril por la exposición de flores.
Hay el castillo de Gaasbeek, cerca de aquÃ, pero está cerrado en diciembre.
En Bruselas y otras ciudades usted descubrirá muchos monumentos y sitios encantadores.
Deseamos una agradable estancia en Bélgica.
Atentamente,
Nicole Pelgrims de Bigard
me gustarÃa saber si fuera de temporadade flores esta abierto lo que es el castillo, queria visitar el lugar en diciembre.
Además de este hermoso castillo, ¿algún otro lugar con encanto para visitar en esa zona?
