  • 2/5 Dilay �. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a nicely curated and well kept park. However even during the day time, there were so many people abusing various drugs (yes not only weed, as far as i saw) and alcohol. Though there were some policemen patrolling around, I witnessed these people doing what they were doing. You wouldn't expect such a lovely place to be the nest of junkies. I wouldn't suggest going there alone

    Well kept park but there were alot of homeless and drug users even during the day. I felt unsafe as they were aggressive and followed me.

    The place where I can only give two stars is full of people who do not know what they are selling, occupying a corner here, just like everywhere else in Brussels. the place you can see, there is not much to see in the photos. waste of time, there are many historical buildings and museums instead, I would say don't waste your time.

    Echt ein wunderschöner großer schick angelegter grüner Garten. leider war das Gewächshaus nicht offen. Mit vielen Skulpturen und Brunnen und auch einem See.. Mitten in Brüssel. und im Kontrast mit den Bürogebäuden echt ein Highlight

  • 5/5 lyra 1 year ago on Google
    Great venue, interesting programming and lovely atmosphere. I’ve been to several shows in both the Orangerie and Rotonde as well as the temporary outdoor stage during Les Nuits and the sound has always been sublime.

  • 4/5 Nicolas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely venue. Sound is good, connection with the artist is easily set given the size of the venue, and OK offering of beverages. Also great to see how much effort they put in decreasing their ecological footprint.

  • 3/5 Tobias E. 4 years ago on Google
    We expected seeing a big botanical garden but it seems to be mostly an event space inside and the bigger garden outside.

  • 5/5 Kyzer C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to chill, catch a concert, get away from the city while being right in the city.

    Beautiful garden, currently under construction.

  • 4/5 Giuseppe D. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the experience, especially in the "rotonde", very intimate concert. One star is missing as they still use the token payments, when all other venues switched to contactless payment.

    saw a beautiful concert here in the intimate Orangerie space. there’s a small cafe/bar, bathrooms downstairs are a bit dingy, the coat check is €1

  • 3/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Orangerie is a bit small for concerts and gets very hot. The fact you need to queue for jetons and then queue for beers is ridiculous. Drop de jetons.there is absolutely no reason to use them. The sound quality was not great, could barely hear/understand the voice. Nice and friendly staff

  • 1/5 Lión P. 1 year ago on Google
    Deception...very dirty, bad care, statues broken, homeless for all place,bottles...

  • 5/5 Kristof T. 1 year ago on Google
    An awesome and cozy venue. I feared for the sound quality, it being a round venue, but the sound was superb. It must be great to play here as an artist as well.

  • 1/5 Mariana G. 10 months ago on Google
    Probably the hottest day of the year, 32° C in Brussels and the Orangerie room is full and there is absolutely no air conditioning. Also, nowhere we were informed that the concert would be seen standing instead of sitting in chairs. It's too hot and too full.

  • 4/5 Adelina B. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice, but definitely not the best I’ve seen. Good to have a quick walk in the middle of nature.

  • 4/5 Marton V. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice Garden with an interesting Building. Although there are some scary people also in the park but its fine.

  • 5/5 Damla Nisa C. 4 months ago on Google
    Very cool concert place. There are 3 different concert halls. Keep in mind that you have to buy coins to get drinks from the bar. There is cloakroom to give the coats.

  • 5/5 Emir M. 3 years ago on Google
    Good park,well kept,lots of beautiful plants and trees, bad guards/watchmen. They open and close the park when they feel like it, disregarding the official open times

  • 5/5 Sofia G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful botanical garden although a little neglected in winter. Inside it works as a mini house of culture, it has exhibitions and a lot more plants. To enter, you enter from the side where you can appreciate the garden in its entirety. The garden is like "divided" by a street forming two parks. It has a central fountain and then small fountains on the sides, there are several banks where you can rest for a while and enjoy nature, it really is like a "lung" between the whole city and even though there is a little noise to the city it is very enjoyable. My recommendation is to go either early in the morning or close to sunset to enjoy it with very little noise. There are from time to time some informative posters about the place which I think are wrong that they are not in Spanish, but only in French or Dutch. Admission is free and they close at night. (Original) Hermoso jardín botánico aunque un poco descuidado en invierno. Adentro funciona como una mini casa de la cultura, cuenta con exposiciones y una cantidad más de plantas. Para ingresar, ingresas por el costado donde podes apreciar el jardín en su totalidad. El jardín está como “dividido” por una calle formando dos parques. Tiene una fuente central y luego pequeñas fuentes a los lados, hay varios bancos donde poder descansar un rato y disfrutar de la naturaleza, realmente es como un “pulmón” entre toda la ciudad y por más que haya un poco de ruido a ciudad es muy disfrutable. Mi recomendación es ir o temprano en la mañana o cerca del atardecer para poder disfrutarlo con muy poco ruido. Hay cada tanto unos carteles informativos sobre el lugar los cuales me parecen mal que no estén en español, sino que solo estén en francés u holandés. La entrada es gratuita y cierran en la noche.

  • 4/5 ncy b. 4 years ago on Google
    Good prog, opportunities to see well known bands and newcomers. One star less because of their coins machine not giving change and the use of large plastic bottles for soft drinks. Go glass!

    One of the most beautiful places to visit in Brussels, where the landscape invites you to take a hundred pictures. Lot of flowers and little paths to follow and enjoy nature and architecture. Free entrance to the park.

👍 Beautiful rooftop entrance. It can get a bit busy here. Watch out for pick pockets! It’s a problem throughout this area and surrounds. They have travel card to pup stations near the entrance downstairs.
