It is a great thing when the Royal family of Belgium goes on a holiday, because that is when the castle is opened for visitors. In 2013 the royal family will follow the tradition and go away for a short holiday, so if you are in Brussels in the given period, make sure to be one of the few tourists coming to Brussels every year who actually have a change to visit this beautiful building.
The royal family of Belgium will go away between August 1st and August 9th in 2013, so make ready to depart for Brussels within shortly.
While in Brussels, do not miss out on the beautiful churches, buildings and of course seafood in some great restaurants, lots of waffles and let us not forget about the Belgian chocolate!
