Brussels - Parc du Cinquantenaire (Jubelpark)

 
The Parc du Cinquantenaire, the entrance to which is just a short walk from the Metro station Schuman, was established in 1880 to commemorate the country's 50th anniversary. Its centerpiece is the monumental Palais du Cinquantenaire, the two wings of which, linked in 1905 by a massive triumphal arch designed by the French architect Charles Girault, house two of Brussels' most interesting museums.
