About the event
Mini-Europe shows around 350 landmarks of the European Union as scale models, from Big Ben to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. From early December to 3 January, the decorators slip Christmas scenes in among them: choirs, markets, snowmen and a Santa getting ready for take-off on an airport runway. Life-size props such as a reindeer or a ski gondola make for fun selfies. In the late afternoon the façades and gardens light up and bring out the models' details. Tip: come around 3 pm to see the park first in daylight and then lit up, and bring binoculars or a zoom lens. The park has no car park of its own; Parking T at Bruparck costs €12 a day, or take metro line 6 to Heysel.
