Holiday Inn Brussels - Schuman ОКРЕСТНОСТИ

The Parc du Cinquantenaire is an impressive park established in 1880 to mark Belgium's 50th birthday. It was only years later, in 1905, that the park with its iconic triumphal arch was completed. Today, you can view exhibitions, visit markets, picnic, walk, jog, or visit one of its museums: the Royal Museum, Autoworld, and the Museum of Art and History. Moreover, the park serves as both the starting and finishing point of the 20 km of Brussels.

The Royal Palace of Brussels is the official workplace of the king and is mainly used for state visits, audiences and royal receptions. The royal family lives in the Castle of Laeken. Every year, from July to September the palace is open to the public and you can go and admire the magnificent salons, the Hall of Mirrors and the Throne Room itself.

The Grand Place, in the heart of Brussels, is by far the most beautiful square in Europe and dates back to the 12th century. Back then, it was a place where merchants sold their wares and you can still see that today in the richly decorated guild houses around the square. You can go there for a bite to eat and a drink, and throughout the year various events take place here. Be sure to come back in the evening when the Grand Place is enchantingly illuminated.
