Meise Botanic Garden

Meise Botanic Garden is more than two centuries old and is a feast for the senses. It is a place enchanting to the local hiker as well as to the tourist looking for something more. You wander through 92 hectares of nature, with 18,000 plant species from all over the world and with world-class botanical and horticultural collections! You visit the castle, the gigantic glasshouses, the gardens and you can learn all about wood in the WOODlab. Different every day and every season at its best. Here, science and nature meet each other in a picturesque historic domain. A botanical pearl in the heart of Europe.

If you are staying in Brussels or even in Antwerp to visit Belgium and you are interested in plants, nature or science: do go and visit this place. You will have a lovely walk on a well kept domain and the the big greenhouse is the star of the show. The domain is big enough, so it will never be too crowded. Seeing everything at a good pace will take you 3-4 hours and you will get 10,000 steps in your legs, so be prepared. Not sure about the connection with public transport, but it really is a hidden gem and worth a visit.

Provinciedomein Het Vinne Zoutleeuw

Reviewed By lilmissmuffet2016 - London, United Kingdom

As a wheelchair user I spend a lot of time searching for places I can a) access b) park at c) eat and drink at and d) use the toilet facilities. Sadly, this usually narrows it down to a very small percentage of visitor attractions. So I was delighted to find this place. There are several large disabled parking bays right by the entrance. There is plenty of parking and also a lot of bike parking too. There is a lovely play area also by the entrance which is actually designed with disabled children in mind - a refreshing site to see! Also by the play area is a lovely restaurant - Bistro Het Vinne - De Winning. Covid restrictions being what they are, we found this restaurant very, very well prepared. You have to wait to be seated (not long!) and use the hand gel...sign in etc. The tables outside are large, well spaced and all disinfected thoroughly between customers. I didn't go inside but would imagine the same as the owners are clearly very vigilant. The staff were very friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming. All staff use hand gel frequently and wear masks of course. The menu was lovely. The food very good quality Belgian fare and mainly bio (organic) and sourced from local farms. Everything was delicious and the ice cream was particularly good, made with bio milk from a local producer. The park walks themselves are sadly not very accessible, but you can do a short roll of around 1-2kms and this does include the sensory area which has some installations such as a wind chime machine. It was enough for us for a short afternoon stroll followed by a lovely meal. There is also an information centre right next to the bistro and play area - fully accessible. There is also a fully accessible toilet available too. One big enough for an electric wheelchair to turn around in! Yippee! Oh and one more thing, no wasps! The bane of late summer. No wasps, nor wasp traps, which only seem to attract the little buggers. A huge bonus for me! All in all I can highly recommend this place. Please visit. Like all places they are struglling due to Corona but deserve to be top of your priority list of places to go for a lovely walk and a meal.

Hallerbos – ‘'The Blue Forest’'

Reviewed By SmitaUpadhyay - Antwerp, Belgium

We had heard of this bluebell forest from my daughter last year.We somehow couldn't go last year during the blooming season . This year it was on top of my list. It is about an hour's drive from Antwerp. Must see in April. The website has all the details of the blooming season and other attractions in the forest e.g; The Hyacinth trail. Its absolutely magical. Imagine a forest with tall trees and large carpets of blue scattered throughout the forest floor.Spectacular. Great place to walk or cycle.
