Shops in Bloom, a floral journey through Brussels

Shops in Bloom is back in the heart of Brussels this summer! From 8 to 24 August, Brusseleirs and visitors can explore a vibrant trail through the city centre, where streets have been transformed by stunning floral installations.

Expect transparency, mirrors, and reflections, coming together in perfect harmony and casting the streets in a magical new light. Expect a visual spectacle that plays with perspective and light, offering a whole new way to see the city.

If you are looking to (re)discover the large and diverse shopping offer in the city centre, this is a perfect opportunity to take time to admire the creative displays around different areas. Let this blooming walk guide you to the many quality products offered by local shops and Brussels’ artisans.
