MY TRAVEL INFO: MINI EUROPE, BRUSSEL, BELGIUM




Mini Europe is a unique miniature park located at the foot of the Atomium in Bruparck, Brussels, offering a whirlwind tour of the European Union's most famous landmarks scaled down to 1:25. It is widely considered one of the top family-friendly attractions in Belgium, blending architectural precision with interactive entertainment.

It is a brainchild of Johanned A.Lorijn, a Dutch Businessman who founded similar miniature parks in Austria and Spain..
  • Miniature Landmarks: The park features approximately 350 meticulously detailed models, including the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Grand Place of Brussels, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
  • Interactive Elements: Visitors can engage with various displays by pressing buttons to trigger animations, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the fall of the Berlin Wall, or the launch of an Ariane rocket.
  • Educational Experience: The "Spirit of Europe" exhibition at the end of the route provides an interactive look at the history, culture, and institutions of the European Union.
  • Seasonal Events: Depending on when you visit, the park often hosts special events, such as musical fireworks displays on summer evenings or festive decorations during the winter holidays.
Ultimately, if you are visiting the Atomium, the combined ticket for Mini-Europe is generally considered a worthwhile addition for an hour or two of fun and photo opportunities.
