The Cinquantenaire Park is more than just its grand avenues and well-kept lawns. This walk invites you to uncover its hidden stories, explore both its iconic monuments and forgotten corners, and reveal a rich—sometimes surprising—history.
As you solve riddles along the way, you’ll journey back through time, discovering the grand architectural ambitions of the 19th century, international exhibitions, and symbols of a past that still prompts reflection today.
This is a walk that encourages you to observe differently, to be amazed, and sometimes to question your surroundings. An urban adventure for the curious of all ages, to be enjoyed alone, with friends, or as a family.
