“One of my favourites spots in Brussels is Flagey. In addition to the lively square with its cosy market and popular cafés, Flagey has a fantastic culture house with a concert hall, which has a local and very friendly feeling, but actually offers incredible concerts with world-famous musicians. I often long for a spot of nature away from the crowds and for that the Bois de la Cambre can be heavenly, especially early in the morning (whereas on weekend afternoons/evenings/nights, the park will be filled with sun & fun-lovers). As far as museums are concerned, the Museum of Natural Sciences with dinosaur skeletons found in Belgium is an absolute must and a guaranteed success with kids. In summer, the Coloma Rose Garden in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw in the outskirts of Brussels is a place of stunning and fragrant beauty, and I thoroughly enjoy the calm of the large park around the lovely tiny castle.”
