After being forced to skip a year, the Royal Greenhouses in Laeken are back open to the public. The historical gardens and greenhouses of the royal domain are open for a few short weeks every year. While not every greenhouse can be open as social distancing cannot be guaranteed, the royal family is making up for it by increasing the outdoor space open to visitors. See the circular rose garden and temple ruins on the shore of one of the domain’s lakes. The tour continues to greenhouses with subtropical plants, palm trees and the Orangery, where orange and laurel trees are safe all winter.
As is customary, the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken will be open to the public from 13 May to 6 June. Due to the prevailing health measures, visits to the Greenhouses have been reorganised so they take place both indoors and outdoors.
