 Cinquantenaire Arch by traveloturc |
The Parc and Palais du Cinquantenaire lie to the east of the city centre and were built for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Belgian independence in 1880. The park was laid out on unused town marshes. The palace was never built. Instead, the two large exhibition halls, (which today house Autoworld and the Musee de L'Armee), were only just completed in time for the 1880 Art and Industry Expo. The park features tree-lined avenues of elms and plane trees, fountains and a running track. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro station: schumann or merode

You saw this tower in the 'Parc du Cinquantenaire'?
You wonder what it is? Was?
Remains of a medieval castle maybe?
Great story , but the truth is different.
The tower was erected by Henri Bayaert in order to
show off the technical possibilities of Tournai
stone.
The decorations shows the coat of arms
of the town 'Doornik , Tournai' which is located
in the Hainut region of Belgium.
Henri Beyaert lived from 1823 till 1894...
not medieval times. There used to be more
towers like this. Despite the beautiful
gargoyles - it is neogothic style. But with
19th century building skills. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro station: schumann or merode

 Art and History Museum by Johnscarroll
Today, one wing is occupied by the Museum of History and Art. There are exhibits about cultures from around Europe, Africa, the Pacific and Asia. Art from each culture is represented. This stop is well worth 2-3 hours. A highlight is the statue from Easter Island.
Entrance is cheap: only 4 Euro per adult. Leave a Comment

Beautiful in the spring and in the summer when the flowers are in bloom and the grass is lush and green. Many locals spend their time here playing with their children, training their pets, exercising or just relaxing on the grass. Everybody has a special place in every city; this would be mine in Brussels. Directions: Minutes by metro from central Brussels.

This amazing museum features an extensive display of armour, uniforms, and weapons from various Belgian campaigns (like the Congo), the Napolionic War to all the way through both World Wars. Not only does it include Belgian uniforms and weapons but also uniforms from other countries are extensively featured such as WW1 and WW2 uniforms from Britain, France, USA, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. In fact, every country that took part in both world wars is featured at great length. The shear amount on display is breathtaking and if you look at every item in detail you'll be here all day! And what's more, it's all free!
Open: 9am-noon and 1-4.45pm Tue-Sun. Closed Mondays.
