About Mini-Europe Brussels
Mini-Europe is a park where visitors can see and explore some of the most famous landmarks of Europe, which have been crafted on a smaller scale.
The park covers an area of about 24,000 square metres and has over 350 models, animations and sites from across the European Union. The models are built at a scale of 1:25 and include an impressive level of detail, from architectural features and monuments to surrounding streets, gardens and public spaces.
Many of the models take thousands of hours to build, and several include interactive features that allow visitors to trigger animations and effects at the touch of a button. For example, visitors can recreate the fall of the Berlin Wall or trigger a miniature eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Throughout the park you'll spot moving trains, boats and other animated features that bring many of the displays to life.
The miniature landmarks are surrounded by landscaped gardens containing thousands of plants and flowers, helping the park feel more like a traditional outdoor attraction than a model exhibition.
Spirit of Europe is the park's interactive indoor space. Visitors can play anthems on different instruments and leave digital messages for future visitors to see.
Mini-Europe is next to the Atomium. Because the two attractions sit side by side, many visitors choose to visit Mini-Europe and the Atomium on the same day.
