Parc du Cinquantenaire

The expat home in Brussels is located a few blocks from the “Parc du Cinquantenaire”, “Park of the Fiftieth Anniversary” in English or “Jubelpark” in Dutch is a beautiful public park that to this day is used for parades and exhibitions. It is located in the most Eastern part of the European Quarter of Brussels. The U-shaped complex is dominated by buildings that were commissioned by the government under the rule of King Leopold II for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating the 15th anniversary of Belgian independence. Other exhibitions that followed this “jubilee” added more structures. The iconic arch of triumph was built in 1905 replacing a previous temporary version of the arch that was designed by Gédéon Bordiau. 

To symbolize the Belgian economic and industrial performance, the structures were built in iron, glass and stone. The park is full of picturesque gardens, ponds and waterfalls. An ideal location to “get your Gram on”. While originally erected as a parade and fairgrounds for celebratory purposes only, the government decided in 1930 to make the park accessible to the public and make it into a leisure park.
