Visit to the Royal Palace of Brussels

Royal Palace Brussels: view outside - BITC Brussels, O.Van de Kerchove

When they go away on holiday, it's a tradition for our monarchs to leave the doors of their palace wide open, and King Philippe and Queen Mathilde have no intention of departing from that rule. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, period furniture, not to mention the ceremonial room with the ceiling decorated with the elytra wings of scarab beetles. Magnificent reminders of the past and of contemporary artists are found side by side in this palace, the King'ss "office", which is a must-see of the summer.
