Brussels

Every 2 years the Grand-Place in Brussels is covered with a flower carpet of begonias. The carpet of 77 m x 24 m is composed by about 120 volunteers, with more than 600.000 begonias. The 2018 theme of the flower carpet is Mexico. The carpet is dedicated to Guanajuato, a Mexican region with a particularly rich floral culture and tradition. Next edition: August 2020. #Culture

Sunset in one of the most beautiful squares in Europe - The Grand Place. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. #adventure
I liked Brussels better than all expectations. The little alleys around the Grand Place, the old buildings and then again the new ones creating a funny contrast, and the shopping options were enough to convince me to return one day.
#Brussels #Belgium My Brussels Passeando por Bruxelas fui registrando aos poucos os detalhes da cidade e de suas construções. Grande parte das fotos é de construções da Grand Place que é Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO. Strolling through Brussels, I gradually recorded the details of the city and its buildings. Most of the photos are from buildings of the Grand Place which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
