Reviews of Le Botanique
Christopher Don
This place is so breathtaking and it’s so open and it’s really calming and there’s benches everywhere so you can come and just sit down and relax and you would see people that were there on dates. You would see people that were just there to read books in peace and quiet. You would also see people that were just there to just find solitude. It was really beautiful to walk around extremely peaceful...

La Botanique in Brussels is a serene, green oasis with fresh air and stunning city views. Peaceful and beautiful, it’s a must visit and one of the city’s top highlights for nature lover. It was sunny when I visited and was really awesome and bright.

Was expecting the greenhouse to be filled with exotic plants and flowers, but they've been moved to another part of the city...😟 The main building now houses sculptures... However the main gardens were nice and worth a visit and it free....
Andrew Clarke
Beautiful gardens with a great bar inside, amazing drinks, relaxing atmosphere, really friendly staff. Highly recommend if visiting Brussels to get away from the rest of the city.

Nice place to visit. Close to a metro station. Not too crowded. There is a gallery which holds various types of exhibitions. And the weekend I visisted, it had a very creative 3D motion art exhibition and it was wonderful to watch.
