Every two years, Brussel's Grand Place (already one of the world's most beautiful squares) swaps its cobbles for a spectacular carpet of multi-coloured flowers. It's a sensational sight - especially when seen from the Town Hall's balcony.
The intricate designs (made from around 800,000 fresh begonias over 300 square metres) often include scenes from Belgian folklore and myth.

Each night at 10pm, 10.30pm and 11pm a sound-and-light show provides music and a nocturnal rainbow of colour.
Event details can change.
