Groot-Bijgaarden Castle: Pumpkimania 2025
From€15
Walk through tulips and navigate a colorful labyrinth
Floralia Brussels transforms the private parklands of Groot-Bijgaarden Castle into Belgium's most spectacular spring flower display. Each year, millions of expert-planted bulbs create a breathtaking carpet of colour across the historic estate's grounds in Dilbeek. You'll walk through carefully designed flowerbeds showcasing tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in every shade imaginable, from delicate pastels to deep, rich hues.
The exhibition runs from April to May when the flowers reach peak bloom. Wide accessible paths wind beneath ancient trees, leading you through open sunlit lawns and shaded groves where the light creates constantly changing patterns across the flower displays. The thoughtful combination of early, mid and late-blooming varieties means every visit offers a slightly different perspective on this horticultural masterpiece.
Floralia Brussels typically opens from April to May, coinciding with peak bloom season. Most visitors spend one to two hours exploring the grounds at their own pace. The gardens are most spectacular between April and May when the majority of flowers reach full bloom. Early morning visits offer softer light for photography, while afternoon visits provide warmer conditions for families with children.
The castle is located in Dilbeek, easily accessible by car with on-site parking available. The park features wheelchair-accessible paths and is suitable for strollers, making it perfect for family visits. All pathways are clearly marked, and complimentary maps help you navigate the extensive grounds without missing any highlights.
