- Josie IinoVienna, Austria116 contributionsThere is a beautiful view from these gardens, nonetheless the view is a sight within itself. It is modest - nothing worth trekking your way for. Only takes two or three minutes to walk around the whole thing. One can merely pass it by, but I would stop to get a good photo and enjoy the statues.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tk3232Sugar Land, TX3,822 contributionsParc de Bruxelles is located just across Royal Palace and considered as Royal Park. Copying Versailles, the Habsburg empress Maria Theresa of Austria (Marie-Antoinette's mom) had this symmetrical park laid out in 1776 (she ruled but never visited, the city). This is one of many large parks of Brussels, which started with an awareness of the importance of city planning. Honestly, the park is just a park, nothing special, just take a walk, sit and breathe. And if it weren’t for the funny sculptures scattered along the alley, there’s not much to do or see there.Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joseph MGharb, Malta95 contributionsThis is located in central area of Brussels and ideal for a walk in busy city. Also recommended to read a book and relax on a bench in this garden. Could be busy at times. Attention also to sun as there are no shady areas and can be very hot in summer time. Good place for a photo from the stairs in front of the garden.Written June 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- treetrippersFredericton, Canada568 contributionsReally pretty place to walk around and enjoy flowers and trees and turtles and fish. They lock it up at nights to keep it safe. I really enjoyed it.Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nidriksDorset, UK44 contributionsI was on my way to the Atomium from my small hotel near Stuyvenbergh and decided to check out the parks I could see on the map. I'm glad I did.
Maybe it's an age thing, as I near 50, but I've developed a respect for gardens that I never really had before.
Les Jardins des Fleuriste are really quite the sight, even as autumn is drawing in.
If you're planning a trip to Atomium from central Brussels, do yourself a favour and leave the metro at Stuyvenbergh and wander the parks first. There are trams nearby that I am sure can take you to the Atomium afterwards.Written October 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In truth, the park consists of one impressive sculpture of Aristide Maillol, a master of the female form and contemporary of Rodin. This is beautiful sculpture named The River (1938-1943), located in the middle of huge round pond with water lilies represents a woman sprawled on her side.
The wave-like figure teeters on the edge of a pool water, about to pour in. Is she a symbol of the mystery of water, the victim of war... or is she just washing her hair? Another copy of this bronze statue sprawls near a pool in the courtyard of New York's Museum of Modern Art. In fact, this is a small garden with a large sculpture and one bench, where we sat and relaxed for 15 -minutes, but the sculpture is worth looking at.Written September 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China159,149 contributionsThe Garden of Sculptures is located just next to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts on Rue de la Régence. This is a small garden with some interesting contemporary sculptures. It is believed that the garden is also located on the site of an 18th-century botanical garden because of the unique tree species that can be found here.
There is a fountain and park benches to sit while viewing the sculptures. A decent place for a brief rest before/after your museum visit. Otherwise, if you are interested in gardens with monument viewing, make sure to also visit the Jardin du Petit Sablon just 50-60 metres down the street from here as well. There you will find lovely landscaping and impressive statues of historic Belgian figures of history.Written November 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I loved just sitting in the garden area and taking in the great views of the church,such a calm place ,if you're in the area it's a church and garden area I highly recommend you check out .Written June 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
