What it is like and how to visit Brussels Floralia: dates, times

One of the great attractions that, from my point of view, has a trip to belgium is to be able to enjoy the great floral art exhibitions that periodically appear in some of their cities.

Without a doubt the most famous is the great Flower Carpet which every two years in mid-August covers the Grand Place of Brussels, and whose next edition is this year 2022.

And I am also going to highlight the Ghent Florals which every five years is presented in various historical venues in this flamenco city, and which is also held again this year 2022, from April 29 to May 8.

If you are a fan of these spectacular floral art exhibitions, also very popular in other European countries such as the Netherlands, or you would like to take a trip to visit them, you run into the problem that they are not celebrated every year.
