Royal Palace Of Brussels

Official Belgian Royal Palace

The Royal Palace of Brussels was built in the 19th century as an official palace for the Belgian royal family to receive dignitaries, hold events and conduct official state business. The palace is open for regular visits every year, and Brussels Park, opposite the palace, is a popular place for the public to relax and exercise.

Formed in the 19th century, this magnificent palace is the Official Palace of the Belgian Royal Family. In addition to the office areas dedicated to the king and queen, the palace also has banquet halls and salons, which are mainly used by the royal family to receive VIPs, hold banquet events and deal with state business. The palace is open to visitors every summer.

Manywhere Trivia:
Although nominally called a Royal Palace, the Royal Palace of Brussels is not where the Belgian royals live, they live in the Royal Castle of Laeken on the outskirts of Brussels.

Originally being the castle of the Dukes of Brabant in the Middle Ages, the Royal Palace of Brussels is located across the gates of Royal Palace Square, opposite the hunting grounds of the Dukes of Brabant, which is now converted to Brussels Park.

The Brussels Park is a large green city park with trees, sculptures, and fountains, and is a great place for people to work out and relax.
