The Royal Palace in Brussels - Belgium 4K Travel Channel
The Royal Palace lies in the heart of Brussels. During one of our walks we see that it is opened to the public. We are surprised that the admission is free and very pleased that filming is permitted. Since 1965 it is tradition that the Brussels royal palace opens its gates for visitors for some weeks during summer.
The palace was built on the remains of the Coudenberg palace, which was destroyed almost completely by a fire, in 1731. The Coudenberg palace was the former court the Herzöge of Brabant and served the Burgundians and Habsburgs as residence. Today, remnants can be seen in Belvue Museum.
After the independence of Belgium, it became the residence of King Leopold I. In 1904, Leopold II extended the palace to its present form. Today, the Royal Palace in Brussels, the symbol for the constitutional monarchy, is only used for work and representation purposes. The royal family now lives in Laeken Castle, located in the Park right next to the Atomium.
In the neo-baroque building you see the offices of the king and the queen and some offices of some senior Labour Cabinet and Head of Protocol. Various state rooms are still used for receptions.
Every year, different exhibitions are shown in the palace. In 2014, on the occasion of the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the first World War, it was a historical exhibition about the Belgian royal couple Albert and Elisabeth in the context of the first world war, vividly presented with film documents. Furthermore, documents, pictures, uniforms, medals and other paraphernalia of the royal dynasty are displayed. Episodes from the Congo until the Second World War are presented from the point of view of the royal family.
A highlight is the Mirror Room. In 2002, the ceiling and the chandelier were covered with 1.6 million green shimmering shells of Buprestidae beetles, a non-protected species. The so-called Heaven of Delight is a project of the artist Jan Fabre.

Der Königliche Palast liegt im Herzen von Brüssel. Bei einem unserer Spaziergänge kommen wir vorbei und bemerken, dass er für die Öffentlichkeit geöffnet ist. Noch mehr waren wir überrascht, dass der Eintritt frei und filmen erlaubt ist. Seit 1965 ist es Tradition, dass der Brüsseler Königspalast im Sommer seine Tore für Besucher öffnet.
Der Palast wurde über den Resten des Palastes vom Coudenberg errichtet, der 1731 durch ein Feuer fast vollständig zerstört wurde. Der zerstörte Palast war der ehemalige Hof der Herzöge von Brabant und diente den Burgundern und Habsburgern als Herrschaftssitz. Heute können davon nur noch Reste im Belvue Museum besichtigt werden.
Das Gebäude wurde von König Leopold I., nach der Unabhängigkeit Belgiens, als Residenz gewählt. 1904 wurde der Palast von Leopold II. in seiner heutigen Form ausgebaut. Der Brüsseler Königspalast, das Symbol für die konstitutionelle Monarchie, wir nur noch zu Arbeits- und Repräsentationszwecken verwendet. Die königliche Familie wohnt heute im Schloss Laeken, im Park der unmittelbar neben dem Atomium liegt.
In dem neobarocken Gebäude findet man neben den königlichen Arbeitszimmern auch Büros einiger hochrangiger Kabinetts- und Protokollchefs. In den verschiedenen Prunksälen finden auch heute noch festliche Empfänge statt.
Jährlich gibt es unterschiedliche Ausstellungen. In 2014, anlässlich der Gedenkfeierlichkeiten zum 100. Jahrestag des 1. Weltkriegs, wird eine historische Ausstellung über das belgische Königspaar Albert und Elisabeth, u.a. im Kontext des 1. Weltkriegs anhand von Filmdokumenten anschaulich präsentiert. Außerdem werden Dokumente, Bilder, Uniformen, Orden und andere Utensilien der königlichen Dynastie gezeigt. Episoden vom Kongo bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg werden aus Sicht des Königshauses dargestellt.
Ein Highlight ist sicherlich der Spiegelsaal. In 2002 wurde die Decke und der Leuchter in der Mitte mit 1,4 Millionen grün schillernden Panzern von thailändischen Skarabäen, einer ungeschützten Tierart, bedeckt. Der sogenannte Heaven of Delight ist ein Projekt des Künstlers Jan Fabre.

DISCLAIMER: The other person in this video was my travelling partner. Due to many unfortunate events happened between us prior to November 2018, he is no longer a concern to me and a part of my journey.

Brussels, Belgium - Royal Palace of Brussels (2018)
The Royal Palace of Brussels is the official palace of the King and Queen of the Belgians in the centre of the nation's capital Brussels. However it is not used as a royal residence, as the king and his family live in the Royal Palace of Laeken on the outskirts of Brussels. The website of the Belgian Monarchy describes the function of the palace as follows:
The Palace is where His Majesty the King exercises his prerogatives as Head of State, grants audiences and deals with affairs of state. Apart from the offices of the King and the Queen, the Royal Palace houses the services of the Grand Marshal of the Court, the King's Head of Cabinet, the Head of the King's Military Household and the Intendant of the King's Civil List. The Palace also includes the State Rooms where large receptions are held, as well as the apartments provided for foreign Heads of State during official visits.
The palace is situated in front of Brussels Park. A long square called the Paleizenplein/Place des Palais separates the palace from the park. The middle axis of the park marks both the middle peristyle of the palace and the middle of the facing building on the other side of the park, which is the Palace of the Nation (the Belgian Federal Parliament building). The two facing buildings are said to symbolize Belgium's system of government: a constitutional monarchy.
As often mentioned it has a facade 50% longer than that of Buckingham Palace but its floor area of 33,027 m2 is less than half of Buckingham Palace's floor area (77,000 m2)
The City of Brussels is the largest municipality and historical centre of the Brussels-Capital Region, and the de jure capital of Belgium. Besides the strict centre, it also covers the immediate northern outskirts where it borders municipalities in Flanders. It is the administrative centre of the European Union, thus often dubbed, along with the region, the EU's capital city.
The City of Brussels is a municipality consisting of the central historic town and certain additional areas within the greater Brussels-Capital Region, namely Haren, Laeken and Neder-Over-Heembeek to the north, and Avenue Louise/Louizalaan and the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos park to the south.
On 1 January 2017, the City of Brussels had a total population of 176,545. The total area is 32.61 km2 (12.59 sq mi) which gives a population density of 5,475 inhabitants per square kilometre (14,180/sq mi). As of 2007, there were approximately 50,000 registered non-Belgians in the City of Brussels. In common with all the Brussels municipalities, it is legally bilingual (French–Dutch).

Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, Brussels, Belgium
The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken (Dutch: Koninklijke Serres van Laken, French: Serres Royales de Laeken), are a vast complex of monumental heated greenhouses in the park of the Royal Palace of Laeken in the north of Brussels. It is one of the major tourist attractions of the city.
The complex was commissioned by King Leopold II and designed by Alphonse Balat. Built between 1874 and 1895, the complex was finished with the completion of the so-called Iron Church, a domed greenhouse that would originally serve as the royal chapel. The total floor surface of this immense complex is 2.5 hectares (270,000 square feet). 800,000 liters (over 200,000 US gallons) of fuel oil are needed each year to heat the buildings.
The complex can only be visited during a two-week period in April--May each year, when most flowers are in full bloom.

Brussels (French: Bruxelles), is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels which is the de jure capital of Belgium. The Brussels-Capital Region is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community, but is separate from the region of Flanders (in which it forms an enclave) or Wallonia. The region has a population of 1.2 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million, the largest in Belgium.
Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a major centre for international politics and has become the polyglot home of numerous international organizations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants. Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union as it hosts a number of principal EU institutions (the other administrative centres are Luxembourg and Strasbourg). The secretariat of the Benelux and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are also located in Brussels.
Historically a Dutch-speaking city, it has seen a language shift to French from the late 19th century onwards. Today the majority language is French, and the Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual enclave within the Flemish Region. All road signs, street names, and many advertisements and services are shown in both languages.Brussels is increasingly becoming multilingual with increasing numbers of migrants, expatriates and minority groups speaking their own languages.
Despite what its name suggests, the Brussels-Capital Region is not the capital of Belgium in itself. Article 194 of the Belgian Constitution establishes that the capital of Belgium is the City of Brussels, the municipality within the capital region that once was the city's core.
The City of Brussels is the location of many national institutions. The Royal Palace, where the King of Belgium exercises his prerogatives as head of state, is situated alongside the Brussels Park. The Palace of the Nation is located on the opposite side of this park, and is the seat of the Belgian Federal Parliament. The office of the Prime Minister of Belgium, colloquially called Law Street 16 (Dutch: Wetstraat 16, French: 16, rue de la Loi), is located adjacent to this building. This is also the place where the Council of Ministers holds its meetings. The Court of Cassation, Belgium's main court, has its seat in the Palace of Justice. Other important institutions in the City of Brussels are the Constitutional Court, the Council of State, the Court of Audit, the Royal Belgian Mint and the National Bank of Belgium.The City of Brussels is also the capital of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community. The Flemish Parliament and Flemish Government have their seats in Brussels,as do the Parliament of the French Community and the Government of the French Community.
The 19 municipalities (communes) of the Brussels-Capital Region are political subdivisions with individual responsibilities for the handling of local level duties, such as law enforcement and the upkeep of schools and roads within its borders. Municipal administration is also conducted by a mayor, a council, and an executive.
In 1831, Belgium was divided into 2,739 municipalities, including the 19 in the Brussels-Capital Region. Unlike most of the municipalities in Belgium, the ones located in the Brussels-Capital Region were not merged with others during mergers occurring in 1964, 1970, and 1975. However, several municipalities outside of the Brussels-Capital Region have been merged with the City of Brussels throughout its history including Laeken, Haren, and Neder-Over-Heembeek, which were merged into the City of Brussels in 1921.
The largest and most populous of the municipalities is the City of Brussels, covering 32.6 square kilometres (12.6 sq mi) with 145,917 inhabitants. The least populous is Koekelberg with 18,541 inhabitants, while the smallest in area is Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, which is only 1.1 square kilometres (0.4 sq mi). Despite being the smallest municipality, Saint-Josse-ten-Noode has the highest population density of the 19 with 20,822 inhabitants per square kilometre (53,930/sq mi).Wikipedia

Brussels, Belgium - Brussels Park (2018)
Parc de Bruxelles (French) or About this sound Warandepark (help·info) (Dutch), is the largest urban public park in the centre of Brussels. The area of the rectangular park is 13.1 ha (32 acres). It is surrounded by Place des Palais/Paleizenplein to the south, Rue Royale/Koningsstraat to the west, Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat to the north and Rue Ducale/Hertogstraat to the east. Famous buildings around the park include the Royal Palace of Brussels, the Belgian Parliament building and the United States embassy.
The City of Brussels is the largest municipality and historical centre of the Brussels-Capital Region, and the de jure capital of Belgium. Besides the strict centre, it also covers the immediate northern outskirts where it borders municipalities in Flanders. It is the administrative centre of the European Union, thus often dubbed, along with the region, the EU's capital city.
