The historical centre of Brussels filled with flowers!
Every two years in August, an enormous “Flower Carpet” is set up in “the Grand Place” for a few days. A million colourful begonias are set up in patterns, and the display covers a full 24 by 77 metres (79 by 253 ft), for area total of 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft). The first flower carpet was made in 1971, and due to its popularity, the tradition continued, with the flower carpet attracting a large number of tourists…
This year it will take place from August the 13th to 15th.
