Visit to the Coloma Rose Garden

Visit to the Coloma Rose Garden.

In the heart of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, about 10 km from Brussels, you can find the Colomaparc: a domain of some 15 hectares with the most colorful place in the region: the Coloma Rose Garden. Every year, more than 3000 different varieties of roses bloom from all over the world. The garden was laid out in four lots: the red and white garden, the Flemish garden, the old rose garden and finally the International garden. This beautiful rose garden is one of the largest and most important in Europe and a wonderful place to discover.
