A metro station among the most “Instagrammable” places in Brussels: “Another place can only be photographed one day a year”

“It’s really worth going.”

The organization, in charge of tourism in the Brussels region, published the 17 most “instagrammable” places in the capital. We find in particular the garden cities “Le Logis and Floréal” in Watermael-Boitsfort, but also the strange Tondo gateway which connects the house of parliamentarians to the forum in the center of Brussels. The list also has the Woluwe valley or a passage from Tram 44 in the middle of the forest of caregivers. “”A metro station is also a hit on Instagramwe explain on the side of Visit.brussels. These are Pannenhuis and his strange decor straight out of a film by Stanley Kubrick “.

Mélissa welcomes tourists in Brussels: “Many think that the atomium is in the center, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris”

There are often queues that day to immortalize the moment “

Outside the list, the Esplanade de Place Poelaert is known for succeeding in sunset photos. Another amazing place is recommended by Mélissa. “It is a rare place, since it can only be a picture of a photo per year”, explains the Brusselsise. Or at least, if we want the cliché to give the expected effect “. This mysterious place is found in the Laeken cemetery, more precisely in the Evrard-Flignot burial, named after a deceased couple more than 100 years ago. By an architectural trick, the two deceased wanted their love to be recalled at the start of the summer.

A circle, in the roof of the cellar, thus makes it possible to bring sunlight. During the summer solstice, on June 21, around noon, this ray of sunshine forms a heart, just above the hand of a weeping weeping. The phenomenon therefore only lasts a few tens of minutes a year. “”There are often queues that day to immortalize the moment “underlines Mélissa who also recommends the visit of the Laeken cemetery. “”With its catacombs, it is a bit of Brussels equivalent of Santa-Lachaise in Paris. It is really worth going. “
