It is interesting that I recieved two cards showing the same place the same day. This is another view of the Grand Place (Unesco WHS) and the flower carpet in 2004 on it. Its size is 24 x 75 m and 800 000 flowers is used.

Brussels is the de facto capital city of the European Union (EU) and the largest urban area in Belgium. The Grand Place was named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998. The Grand Place is well known for its large "flower carpet". This display of begonias is arranged on the square every two years for a few days in the middle of August, and attracts many tourists. This card shows flower carpet in 2004. Its size is 24 x 75 m and 800 000 flowers is used.
