It has been 35 years since the Atomium, the tourist symbol of Brussels, and the Eiffel Tower, the business card of Paris, met at a distance of several meters from each other in the Belgian capital.

The Mini-Europa Park, popular among tourists, containing over 300 models of famous architectural structures, is the only place in the world where the most beautiful sights of Europe are united - from the Acropolis to the Tower Bridge, from the Leaning Tower of Piza to the Brussels Grand Place. 

On the territory of Mini-Europe, whose area is approximately equal to one hectare, architectural landmarks of all EU member states are presented in human growth on a scale of 1:25. 

The park annually brings in over 25 million euros to the Brussels treasury. A miniature world at the foot Atomium, which is a giant metal structure in the form of a model of an iron molecule magnified 165 billion times, - it is both a journey through space and time.
