Stunning Theme Park in the World’s Most Comfortable City

Beyond its fascinating architecture and renowned culinary scene, Brussels has earned another prestigious title—it was named the world’s most comfortable city at the end of last year.

With numerous attractions drawing visitors from across the globe, one standout experience awaits in the Heysel district—the Mini-Europe theme park.

Mini-Europe: A Tour of the Continent in One Place

This unique attraction allows visitors to explore some of Europe’s most iconic landmarks in one location.

Scaled down to 1:25 of their original size, the park features the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Mount Vesuvius, the Eiffel Tower, Brussels' Grand Place, and many more architectural wonders from across Europe.

A visit to Mini-Europe is like taking a whirlwind trip across the continent—in just a few hours!

Atomium: The Symbol of Brussels

Just as the Eiffel Tower became the defining landmark of Paris, Brussels' Atomium has cemented itself as a symbol of the Belgian capital.

Though it initially received criticism, this massive iron crystal structure, magnified 165 billion times, has since become one of the city's most iconic attractions.

Built for the 1958 World Expo, Atomium consists of nine interconnected spheres, reaching a height of 102 meters. Each sphere has a diameter of 18 meters, connected by tunnels with moving staircases.

To make the experience even more exciting, the top sphere houses a restaurant, while the others host permanent and temporary exhibitions.

The Grand Place and Other Must-See Attractions

Located near the heart of Brussels, the Grand Place is considered the city's central hub.

Surrounded by historically significant buildings, this square is a must-visit for tourists exploring the Belgian capital.

Beyond its historical sites, Brussels is home to several fascinating museums, including:

  • Autoworld Brussels, which showcases vintage cars dating back to the 19th century, attracting classic car enthusiasts.
  • Trainworld, housed in a former railway station, offering insights into the history of European railway transport. One of its highlights is the oldest locomotive on the continent.
