While it's of course good to have parks in the city, this one is just that, not much more. Added value comes from the various museums the park has, but other than that... it's very urban, very kept, grass always cut, etc. It's of course always full of people. Good for a lunch sneak-out or a run if you're so... More

The outstanding statues all over the park and the location of a couple of museums such as Car Museum makes it an intersting place for all tastes!

I liked very much this park, more than Le park de Bruxelles. Ideal for a relaxing stroll or sitting down and read a book.

The only problem concerning this park is that is a little far from downtown, in the other hand is big and you can relax and see the beautiful Arch. Is close to the buildings of the EU.

Brussels is not the most enchanting European capital.But this Park is a must for a stroll after work or lots of food (the two things one does best in Brussels).A real oasis for meditation or romance.

Big and friendly park. One can really enjoy. You can get to the top of the arc (through the Army Museum) and enjoy the beautiful view!

Two words I have probably used a lot for my reviews of Brussels are 'beautiful and stunning' and I will use them again here! We got to Cinquantenaire Park at around 8 in the morning and it was so peaceful and quiet. The two museums there open at 10 or 10:30 so I would imagine it's a little more lively... More

One of the "must see" places in my opinion. There is Autoworld in the centre of the park, but even if you don't fancy this, it is a pleasant spot to walk around a take a few moments to enjoy some peace and quiet.
