Mont des Arts gardens

A stepped city garden with fountains, benches and a carillon passage between upper and lower Brussels.

What to expect

Below Place Royale, the Mont des Arts garden forms a green link between the Royal Quarter and the Grand-Place side of the historic centre. The site began as part of the 1910 Universal Exhibition, was reshaped in the 1950s and the current garden was restored in 2001. Benches, fountains and a small skatepark sit along the terraces; a carillon sounds in the covered passage below.

Free public garden

Before you go

Entry and costs

The public garden is free to enter. Nearby museums and indoor attractions have their own admission and hours; the garden itself has no fixed daily schedule in the official visitor listing.

Visitor notes

Most approaches use stairs. Visit Brussels identifies the entrance on rue du Mont des Arts as the only route for disabled access; the visitor page does not describe its gradient or surface, so confirm route conditions if step-free access is essential. The guide lists benches, fountains and a skatepark but no opening hours.

Opening hours

Date-specific hours are not available for this place. Check the official page for the day you plan to visit.
