One of the best places for family holidays in Brussels is Mini-Europe. Come here to feel like a Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians, have fun, and see all major European landmarks without leaving the Belgian capital.

Mini-Europe was established by the government of Belgium in 1989. It is located in the historical district of Laeken in the north of the city and occupies a large area of Bruparck at the foot of the Atomium, the symbol of Brussels.

The park features 350 miniature attractions from 80 European cities on a 1:25 scale. It will take no less than two hours to view all of them. But such a vivid, replete and unusual trip is worth wasting time and more than pays off with positive impressions.

At first, models of numerous palaces, towers, castles, temples, and other world-famous buildings impress with their tiny size unusual for the human eye. They look especially strange and remarkable against the background of the huge Atomium. By the way, many visitors come up to the observation deck to see Mini-Europe and its surroundings, which look like a giant playground comparing to the whole city.

Gradually, guests get used to the outlandish environment and study it with curiosity. Now it is not the modest size of landmarks that catches the eye but their wonderful detailing. Facades, details, area – everything is made with precision! Human figures living their lives in the created world make it even more realistic and atmospheric.

Although walking in the park will never replace visiting significant, historical sites, Mini-Europe brought them all together in one place, so that visitors can learn a rich heritage of European culture and compare its treasures with each other.

To prolong the trip and get more vivid impressions, go to the Oceade Waterpark, neighboring Mini-Europe.
