Garden of Mont des Arts

King Leopold II had the idea for Mont des Arts because he wanted to surround his palace with lovely objects and lovely people. the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, a gathering place for visitors from all over the world, houses more than 20 000 old and modern works of art; the Palais des Beaux-Arts - BOZAR - (Brussels concert hall and fine arts center), which organizes events, exhibitions, and festivals and combines art from around the world; the Musée Magritte Museum, which displays the largest collection of works by the famous Belgian surrealist artist;

Along with the enormous stairway, which has grown to be its most recognizable feature, it features avenues lined with fountains and flower gardens. The park's beautiful grounds alone are reason enough to go, but the breathtaking views it provides are just as magnificent. Don't forget your camera because the gardens offer one of the nicest views of Brussels that can be found.
