A beautiful place, located near the Place Royal and Park de Brussels. If you like beautiful plants, a park where you can just walk in good weather, admire the roses and landscape - this is the place for you. Perhaps visiting this park should not be your goal in Brussels, but if you find yourself somewhere nearby, why not stop by?

Mont des Arts is a small hill in downtown Brussels. It offers a sweeping view of the Belgian capital with a lovely garden. There are some cafes and restaurants at the terrace for a short respite.

Always super views across the city centre from this vantage point at all times of the year. The gardens are neatly trimmed at all times of the year.

I imagine in days gone by that this area was popular with Brussels society and was a place for people to promenade and be seen.
The area has been beautifully kept and is still very beautiful with places to sit and enjoy the scenery and nature as well as some of the sculptures in the area.
Well worth checking out for the Brussels skyline.

This has the same photo as my postcard of the Albertine and congress centre at Brussels but Trip Advisor did not seem to have it listed. It is an urban complex and historic site in central Brussels, Belgium, including the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), the National Archives of Belgium, the Square – Brussels Meeting Centre, and a public garden. It is a very impressive building and well worth a visit

Mont des Arts is an urban leisure area that includes a very nice garden area as well as the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), Square Brussels and the National Archives of Belgium. It extends from Place de l'Albertine to Coudenberg.
Most visitors likely visit here to see the hillside garden which is nicely landscaped with shrubs, trees and numerous monuments, fountain as well as a delightful Carillon. Unfortunately, the grounds can be quite trashy first thing in the morning but when clean, this is a nice public garden with good views and monument viewing.
From the southeast, there is an elevated platform with very nice views towards the Grand Place. This is a neat spot early in the morning when the sun rises and begin to put light on the town hall in the distance.

Located within a relaxing stroll from Grand Place, this rejuvenated urban complex, with its beautifully-manicured garden at its centre, guarded by the equestrian statue of King Albert I and surrounded by some of Brussels most important buildings such as its library and national archives. From the elevated vantage point, you’ll be greeted by the view of Brussels skyline, dominated by the tower of Brussels Town Hall. Excellent place to relax and while your day away.

We walked through the Mont des Arts several times during our stay in Brussels. The gardens were well manicured. The statue of King Albert I stands proudly on one side of the road; the statue of Elizabeth across the street. Lots of people walking through, relaxing on park benches, listening to music by buskers, checking out the graffiti art. Nearby bars and cafes were often filled.

How many steps is it to climb to the top? If I had to go by tram from Bourse, which stop should I get off at to get there without climbing?
