Kasteel van Groot-Bijgaarden

The magnificent and unique Groot-Bijgaarden is the venue for this beautiful annual flower show. Every year, the grounds of this estate are transformed into an Eden, spread with flowers, water features, and plants arranged by many expert florists. Visitors can delight in the flower show in addition to marvelling at the castle itself, designed in the style of the Flemish Renaissance. The first stones were laid as early as the 12th century, with a four-story tower rising from beside the gatehouse of the moat.

Bassin Béco, Port de Bruxelles

Not just a beach but a real seaside resort in the heart of Brussels on the edge of the canal, Brussels Beach, or Bruxelles Les Bains, offers half a mile (1km) of fine sand, coconut palms, and waterfalls.

There is also plenty of sport, relaxation, and cultural activities. Sports such as beach volleyball, pétanque, and ultimate Frisbee are available, or for the less actively inclined, a Thai pagoda houses several professional masseurs for complete relaxation.

Two stages provide entertainment in the form of live music, DJs, and shows, while food stalls and beach bars afford the chance to savour flavours from around the world. Children are well catered for with activities and entertainment that includes sandcastles, clowns, and water games.
