Access: 30 minutes on foot from the Grand Place Tourist spot: Inside the Cinquantenaire Park A gate built to commemorate independence in 1900. The boulevard leading from the Royal Palace of Brussels in the city center runs through the Cinquantenaire Park, and the view of greenery and arches ahead is beautiful when you pass through the avenue. It seems that various events are held at the foot of the gate on weekends. It's free, and it's more spacious than the Royal Palace of Brussels with a better view, so it's recommended to stretch your legs and relax. #Breathtaking view
