I
think
the
royal
greenhouse
is
not
only
worth
a
visit
but
also
deserve
you
carrying
a
good
camera
for
it!
The
most
splendid
thing
I
find
to
be
is
the
architecture
itself.
The
grand
steel
arcs
and
the
huge
transparent
glasses
remind
me
of
the
large
train
shed
of
the
Antwerp
Central
Station,
and
also
at
some
point
even
resembles
the
movie
settings
in
Jurassic
park,
only
it
is
much
more
vivid
and
glamorous
with
the
emerald
steel
structure
and
the
exotic
flora
and
foliage
from
all
over
Asia,
Australia,
Africa
and
South
America.
Some
of
them
are
a
rare
sight
even
in
their
places
of
origin.
I
first
followed
an
ouydoor
route
where
one
has
a
glimpse
of
the
rolling
grassland
of
the
royal
chateau,
and
then
visitors
enter
the
greenhouses
following
a
flower-lined
trail
dotted
with
occasional
statutes,
small
fountains,
and
carefully
arranged
landscapes.
There
is
a
souvenir
shop
and
a
coffee
place
just
besides
the
exit
where
one
can
purchase
plant
seeds,
postcards,
or
sit
down
under
a
glass
dome
and
bask
in
the
lovely
sunlight
a
bit.
The
lines
are
long
and
a
bit
overcrowded
but
still
I
would
recommend
a
visit
if
you
stop
by
Brussels
when
the
greenhouses
are
open.
Ticket
is
2.5
euros
and
bancontact
is
accepted.
There
is
a
free
parking
lot
just
across
the
road
from
the
main
entrance.
The
place
is
only
open
for
about
3
weeks
every
April/
May
so
check
for
accessibility
beforehand.
