Cinquantenaire Park (Parc du Cinquantenaire)

Cinquantenaire Park, or Parc du Cinquantenaire, sprawls across 74 acres in Brussels and was named to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Belgian independence, marked by the 1880 National Exhibition. The park is a cultural hub, featuring three museums and the Great Mosque of Brussels. At its heart stands a grand triumphal arch, completed in 1905, which serves as a focal point for visitors. Today, guests can explore the diverse exhibits, stroll through the expansive green spaces, and admire the architectural landmarks that make this park a significant part of Brussels’ heritage.
