17 minutes | Leopold Park Fountain, Brussels, Belgium
Parc Léopold (French) or Leopoldspark (Dutch) is a public park located within the Leopold Quarter (European Quarter) of Brussels, adjacent to the Paul-Henri Spaak building, the seat of the European Parliament.
The 10-hectare (25 acre) park was opened to the public in 1880 after the unpopular Royal Zoological Garden (Jardin Royal de Zoologie) had been removed. During the following years, a campus for the famous Solvay School of Commerce was established in the park but construction of additional buildings was soon curtailed for fear of encroachment on the park and its fragile wildlife. The buildings have remained to this day but only one still belongs to Solvay (and houses the Solvay Conference). The building of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences is also located in the park.
The Library of Solvay is also located in the park and houses the think tanks Security & Defence Agenda, Friends of Europe and Maison d'Europe. A House of European History will also be housed by the Eastman building from 2014.
The outstanding feature of the park is its pond, fed by the Maalbeek stream. Many rare trees (remnants of a botanic garden) and animals such as mallards, moorhens, coots, and even Egyptian geese and rose-ringed parakeets thrive in this urban environment.

30 minutes | Parc du Cinquantenaire Fountain, Brussels, Belgium
Parc du Cinquantenaire (French for Park of the Fiftieth Anniversary) or Jubelpark (Dutch for Jubilee Park) is a large public, urban park (30 hectares) in the easternmost part of the European Quarter in Brussels, Belgium.
Most buildings of the U-shaped complex which dominate the park were commissioned by the Belgian government under the patronage of King Leopold II for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence. During successive exhibitions in the same area, more structures were added. The centrepiece triumphal arch was erected in 1905 replacing a previous temporary version of the arcade by Gédéon Bordiau. The structures were built in iron, glass and stone, symbolising the economic and industrial performance of Belgium. The surrounding 30-hectare park esplanade was full of picturesque gardens, ponds and waterfalls. It housed several trade fairs, exhibitions and festivals at the beginning of the century. In 1930 the government decided to reserve Cinquantenaire for use as a leisure park.
Originally this area was part of the military exercise ground outside of the center of the city, the so-called Linthout plains. For the world exhibition of 1880, the plain was developed as an exhibition center. The original pavilions of the 1880 exhibition, designed by Gédéon Bordiau, were largely replaced with the triumphal arcade designed by Charles Girault in 1904 and the large halls on both sides. Only the glass-constructed Bordiau halls remain from the 1880 structures.
The Arch was planned for the world exhibition of 1880 and was meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the independence of Belgium. In 1880, only the bases of the columns were completed and, during the exhibition, the rest of the arch was constructed from wooden panels. During the following years, the completion of the monument was the topic of a continuous battle between King Leopold II and the Belgian government, which did not want to spend the money required to complete it.
The park was also the site of the Brussels International (1897), for which the building wings were extended, although the arch was still incomplete.
The original architect was the Belgian Gideon Bordiau, who spent close to 20 years on the project and died in 1904. His successor, chosen by Leopold, was the French architect Charles Girault. Girault changed the design from a single arch to a tri-parte arch, and began a course of round-the-clock construction in a final push to complete it. The sculptors included:
- the quadriga, entitled Brabant Raising the National Flag, by Jules Lagae and Thomas Vincotte
- figures of Hainaut and Limbourg by Albert Desenfans
- figures of Antwerp and Liège by Charles van der Stappen
- figures of East Flanders and West Flanders by Jef Lambeaux
- figures of Namur and Luxembourg by Guillaume de Groot
The monument was completed with private funding in 1905, just in time for the 75th anniversary of the Belgian independence.

Cinquantenaire-Jubel Park-Brussels:
Parc du Cinquantenaire is a large public, urban park (30 hectares) in the easternmost part of the European Quarter in Brussels, Belgium.
Most buildings of the U-shaped complex which dominate the park were commissioned by the Belgian government under the patronage of King Leopold II for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence. During successive exhibitions in the same area, more structures were added. The centrepiece triumphal arch was erected in 1905 replacing a previous temporary version of the arcade by Gédéon Bordiau. The structures were built in iron, glass and stone, symbolising the economic and industrial performance of Belgium. The surrounding 30-hectare park esplanade was full of picturesque gardens, ponds and waterfalls. It housed several trade fairs, exhibitions and festivals at the beginning of the century. In 1930 the government decided to reserve Cinquantenaire for use as a leisure park.
The Royal Military Museum has been the sole tenant of the northern half of the complex since 1880. The southern half is occupied by the Cinquantenaire Museum and the AutoWorld Museum. The Temple of Human Passions, a remainder from 1886, and the Great Mosque of Brussels from 1978 are located in the north-western corner of the park.
Line 1 of the Brussels Metro and the Belliard Tunnel from Rue de la Loi pass underneath the park, the latter partly in an open section in front of the Arch. The nearest metro stations are Schuman to the west of the park, and Mérode immediately to the east.
Today the various buildings of the Cinquantenaire host three musea and one mosque. The surrounding park esplanade is used for several purposes in the summer, such as military parades and drive-in movies. It is also the starting point for the 20 km of Brussels, an annual run with 30,000 participants.

Découvrir les secrets du Parc Léopold à Bruxelles : un reportage par Catherine Boone
Le parc Léopold ( en néerlandais : Leopoldpark ) à Bruxelles, dont l'étang constitue un dernier vestige de la vallée du Maelbeek, a su conserver le caractère d'un parc à l'anglaise, malgré la mutation du Quartier Léopold en un quartier d'affaires.
L'histoire du parc reste toujours visible dans le paysage actuel. Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir la Tour Eggevoort, vestige unique de l'ancien domaine médiéval qui daterait du 15e siècle. A l'ancien emplacement de la serre du Victoria Regia (Balat, 1853) se dresse depuis 1899, le buste de Jean Linden, botaniste et grand voyageur (1817-1898) qui a introduit en Europe plus de 650 variétés de plantes. Aujourd'hui, le parc Léopold est aussi devenu un musée de l'architecture en plein air.
Le parc Léopold est situé en plein coeur du quartier européen.
The Leopold Park, whose pond is the last vestige of the Maelbeek valley, looks a bit like an English garden, in spite of the huge transformation of the surrounding district.
The history of the park is still visible in the current landscape. Visitors can discover the medieval Eggevoort Tower, which dates from the 15th century. On the spot of the former greenhouse Victoria Regia stands the bust of Jean Linden, botanist and traveler (1817-1898) who introduced a variety of more than 650 plants in Europe. The Leopold Park became an outdoor museum of architecture.
The Leopold Park is now at the heart of the European quarter of Brussels.

Het Leopoldpark ( in het Frans : le parc Léopold ) in Brussel heeft nog steeds een beetje de stijl van een Engels landschapspark, ondanks de verandering van de Leopoldwijk en de zakenwijk in de buurt. De vijver in het park is een van de laatste overblijfselen van de vallei van de Maalbeek.
De geschiedenis van het park is nog steeds goed zichtbaar. De bezoekers kunnen de Eggevoorttoren ontdekken, een bouwwerk dat dateert van de 15de eeuw. Op de plaats waar vroeger de grote serre Victoria Regia stond, staat een buste van Jean Linden, plantkundige en wereldreiziger (1817-1898). Linden bracht meer dan 650 verschillende planten voor het eerst naar Europa. Het Leopoldpark is intussen uitgegroeid tot een architectuurmuseum in openlucht.
Het Leopoldpark ligt nu in het hartje van de Europese wijk.
