Miniature Highlights
Mini-Europe is all about the miniatures, well, at least a big part of it. So, what kinds of buildings, places, and scenes can you see in miniature there?
Here is a quick list of some of the miniature highlights you can see:
- The Eiffel Tower, Paris: Standing at 13m tall is quite impressive
- Big Ben & Houses of Parliament, London: The iconic pair are a big part of the London cityscape
- The Colosseum, Rome: Of course, it had to be included
- Sagrada Familia, Barcelona: This infamous building that is never quite finished in Spain
- Parthenon, Athens: One of the most intact historic sites in Greece
- Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pisa: The tower that is almost falling over in Italy
- Canals of Venice: Another must-visit on any tour of Europe
- Brandenburg Gate, Berlin: This rival to Paris’ Arc de Triomphe
- Atomium, Brussels: This is actually right next door, in real life
- Windmills of Kinderdijk, Holland: A touch of the Netherlands
Of course, there are so many more, I could not possibly list them all.
Spirit Of Europe
A more recent addition to Mini-Europe is this Europe-centric exhibition. It offers visitors a deeper look into the European Union’s history, culture, and political framework. Sounds a little boring? Don’t worry, they make it fun through the use of quizzes, games, and informative displays. And you will learn a lot too, leaving with a better understanding of the European Union and its member states.
It is also a great way to put all the miniatures into context considering you get to visit the whole of Europe while you are here!
Mini-Europe Combinations
If a visit to Mini-Europe is not enough for your day out, you can combine it with a visit to the Atominium, which is right next door. This is a great option because it is one of the must-see attractions in Brussels and you won’t have to move far to see them both! Plus you get a decent discount by combining the two.
Another option you have option where you can combine a visit to Mini-Europe with the Brussels Hop-on Hop-off bus. This ticket option is also great if you plan on seeing the sights in Brussels.
