    Lovely vibe and event
    We visited after a visit to Autoworld - we were about to go home but heard music so checked it out. There was some sort of arts festival on, so we grabbed some beers, slushies, and waffles and chilled out on the grass. The park was immaculately clean despite being busy, there were eco-toilets there too which was amazing, but doubt they're regular. The vibe was just lovely, locals chilling with books and doing yoga, etc. It felt really safe. Would 10/10 recommend for a spare sunny day!

    Great place to run
    This is such a nice touch of green in a city full of brick and concrete. It is quite large and you can walk all around any enjoy some beautiful plants, trees and building. It is clearly a great place to run too.

    Beautiful Parc! Must see
    This Parc is Beautiful! We stayed near the Grand Place and walked to the Parc during our visit - took about 40 min to walk there. It was worth it! The Monuments are huge and beautiful! Attached to a lovely Park - perfect to escape the city and enjoy some Green! Must visit if you’re in Brussels!

If you're in the area it's worth checking out. The large park is beautiful and peaceful which was a surprise since it's located in the middle of the city. There are monuments and statues all around the grounds, in addition to the main building too.

Built to mark the 50th anniversary of Belgium's independence,this is an impressive large garden with sculptures, extensive walkways and water features. A dominant feature is the triumphal arch with three arches and a bronze quadriga at its summit. It is slightly shorter than the Paris Arc de Triomphe but the arches are phenomenal. The feature is also part of the tour bus route. A place to relax and enjoy!

Parc du Cinquantenaire (Jubelpark in Dutch) is a park in Brussels, Belgium. The park is laid out around a city gate with three arches that the people of Brussels call the Arcades du Cinquantenaire. Several museums surround it: the Army Museums, the Aviation Museum, the Automobile Museum, and the Royal Museums of Art and History which present vast collections of objects and reconstructions of sites from all continents. The esplanade which extends in front of the Palais is regularly used for the organization of events of all kinds: among the start and finish of the 20 km of Brussels, environmental festival, bicycle festival, concerts, festivals, events, drive-in movie etc.

After the visit to the European Parliament hemicycle, I got off at the Schuman metro station and calmly walked through this large park. It was late morning, few people, few tourists, very beautiful, well kept, clean, some flowers already planted. Once past the imposing Arc de Triomphe, 3 museums overlook the square, including the military one and the Autoworld. Then another short stretch and you come out, beautiful buildings, nearby is the Merode metro stop.
It's a shame we weren't able to tour it in its entirety, enjoy this tranquility after days of confusion in the city centre.

This is Brussels' version of Hyde and Central parks. Parc du Cinquantenaire is a huge, lush space at the western end of the Belgian capital. A vast area of greenery, it is the place to enjoy a bit of serenity while staying in the city. The park is also adorned with the Belgian version of Ard de Triomphe and two stately museums.

Breath taking park. Beautiful well-planned green space. Absolute enormous arch with appealing architecture and statue. You will get a lot of good photos here. A great addition is the waffle van here was really delicious at a great price.

after the Grand Place in the centre, it is the area of the city that surprised and fascinated me the most, especially the triumphal arch with the surrounding colonnade. The quadriga at the top of the colonnade is very beautiful, imposing on the level of the Parisian triumphal arch. Or maybe more. We also climbed inside up to the roof from which you can enjoy an excellent view and from there we admired the city panorama. Before then we had underestimated Brussels a bit, considering it a second-rate city, but we had to change our minds. It's worth seeing...

Beautiful park in Brussels. Well attended when the weather is nice. Lots of places to sit and lots of green areas for picnics. It is filled with many busts, monuments, a mosque, small pavilions, and the Arc de Triomphe is adjacent to the park. Worth seeing.
