Exuding beauty and serenity since the reign of Leopold II, the Parc du Cinquantenaire is a national landmark in Brussels and one of the best places to visit for a relaxing afternoon at the park. Built to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Belgian independence, the park’s name literally means “Park of the Fiftieth Anniversary.” The whole park forms a pentagon, much like the inner and outer rings of the city, and houses tons of hidden gems for visitors to discover. While the fountain and the archways are the obvious main attractions, guests ought to make some time to walk around and through the park to enjoy all that its beautiful greenery has to offer.
