Hidden Gems in Spring
Spring is the perfect time to be in Europe. The sun comes out, the days get longer and all the plants begin flowering.

Make your way to Belgium for the Greenhouses of the Royal Palace at Laeken, Brussels. Beauty can be found at the Winter Garden in both its plant life and Art Nouveau architecture; the massive greenhouses with their ironwork frames are home to many rare and beautiful plants.
