Welcome to Mini Europe, a magical park where the monuments and iconic landmarks of the European continent are exceptionally replicated and create a beautiful park that offers a comprehensive journey across Europe without the need to stamp a passport or buy plane tickets.
So let's go on a cross-border mini-Europe tour in Brussels:
Admire the architectural wonders of Europe:
The Mini Europe Park is much more than a collection of tiny items of famous European buildings, but a unique museum-park that offers a fascinating journey in the heart of the European continent. Throughout the beautiful park, you'll find meticulously recreated models of more than 350 landmarks in 27 EU countries. Each area of the park is dedicated to a different nation and showcases its architectural capabilities and cultural heritage.
Strolling through the park you can find yourself observing the splendor of the Eiffel Tower or the intricate details of the Berlin Wall. 2 minutes later you can find yourself in the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy or in the magnificent Alhambra Palace in the city of Granada in Spain.
Next to the iconic buildings, you will find interactive information boards describing the historical story and meaning of each monument and site, which will provide you with fascinating information about the past of European countries and their important and historical landmarks.
The park does not only include static displays and complex sculptures, and you can find a host of exciting surprises in it, starting with moving trains, airplanes taking off and cable cars slowly crawling along mountain ranges. Among the various performances, you can activate different animations such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy or an animation of the fall of the Berlin Wall, so expect a dynamic and exciting journey between the fascinating European Union countries.
A vision of unity:
The vision of the Mini-Europe Park is to present the rich history of the continent and its diverse cultures while emphasizing the sense of unity of the European Union. By presenting the continent's famous landmarks, located side by side, the park emphasizes the idea of its creators who want to present Europe as a collective of unique cultures working together for mutual growth and development.
When you walk around the park, alongside the architectural masterpieces, also think about the peaceful coexistence of the different cultures and peoples who live on the European continent side by side, without visible borders, in unity and peace. The park symbolizes a testimony to the strength and unity of Europe alongside a gentle reminder of the importance of unity in the global world where we all know what happened when unity fell apart and failed.
The popular buildings that you will get to meet while visiting Mini Europe:
A visit to the Mini Europa Park will take you on a journey between different countries and cultures, where you will see iconic buildings that are symbols of quite a few countries. Here are some of the performances that you should not miss when visiting the park:
Eiffel Tower (France): Let's start, of course, with the iconic symbol of France and one of the most popular and famous buildings in all of Europe. The model of the Eiffel Tower, located within the French area of the complex, stands 14 meters tall and is considered a very accurate and impressive model.
Big Ben (UK): The famous clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, also known as Big Ben, is another recognizable symbol of Europe.
The Acropolis (Greece): Representing the rich history of ancient Greece, the miniature version of the Acropolis brings to life the magic of Greek architecture and the deep historical heritage of the wonderful country.
The Colosseum (Italy): There is no traveler who has been to the city of Rome and did not get to visit or at least see the Colosseum from the outside, and if you have not yet arrived in Rome itself, here you have the opportunity to view the most magnificent monument in the city. The complex Colosseum model contains all the original elements - from the complex arches to the bricks that make it up.
Brandenburg Gate (Germany): As a symbol of unity and peace, the Brandenburg Gate is an extraordinary piece of architecture that has been incredibly accurately reproduced and is on display in the park.
Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy): The Leaning Tower of Pisa, known to all of us from the amusing pictures that its visitors tend to upload to social networks, is a symbol of architectural strength and an architectural wonder. So a photo with the model won't be as impressive as a photo with the original tower, but that's something too...
Windmills of Kinderdijk (Netherlands): Holland, the land of color and water canals, is full of colorful windmills that decorate the country's green spaces. In the park, you can witness wonderful replicas of Dutch windmills, which will make you feel for a moment in the open spaces of the flat country.
These iconic sites are only a few of the 350 models that are on display in the magnificent park. Each such miniature monument tells a unique historical story, and offers park visitors a cultural, historical and architectural tour of the magical continent of Europe in a special and exciting way.
