Parc du Cinquantenaire”Plenty of stuff do see or to do!”

Parc du Cinquantenaire, also known as Jubelpark, is a vast 30-hectare public park in the heart of Brussels’ European Quarter. Commissioned by King Leopold II to commemorate Belgium’s 50th anniversary of independence, the park opened in 1880 and has since become a beloved landmark. The centerpiece is the imposing Cinquantenaire Arch, flanked by colonnaded halls housing world-class museums. Visitors can explore the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History, Autoworld with its vintage car collection, and the Art & History Museum showcasing artifacts from around the globe.
