The Arc de Triomphe was built in 1905 and is located in the Parc de Cinquantenaire with a beautiful bronze statue.

Its a very Big Place with Garden, where you can Walk and be one with a small bit of Nature. If You want to Spend the morning there you could go for a Walk, Take pictures of the Arc and go to the Autoworld.

This is a nice Triumphal Arc.

Was there on the final hours of the sun setting on a pleasant afternoon and it was a perfect way to end my Brussels trip.

Both sides of the arc are a joy, there’s a large fountain on one side and a well maintained park on the other - where I joined many locals to soak the summer rays.

There were market stalls open on the water fountain sides when I was there on a Friday.

Visitar este imponente Monumento vale mucho la pena. Es impresionante y muy bonito por donde se lo mire. También se puede aprovechar y tener un agradable paseo por el bello parque que lo acompaña. Este parque es muy amplio, se encuentra muy limpio y muy cuidado. Se encuentra un poco alejado del centro pero esto no es un impedimento para llegar caminando.

Visiting the Triumphal Arch in Brussels during the summer was an absolute delight. The sunny weather accentuated the beauty of this iconic landmark. The arch's intricate details and stunning architecture were even more impressive up close. The surrounding gardens were in full bloom, creating a picturesque setting. Walking through the arch was like stepping into history. It's a must-visit attraction that becomes even more enchanting in the summer months.

Great place to visit. An amazing park to ride/walk through. Would 100% recommend a visit if you are into history or just want to see some cool sites

This site also has the history of armed forces museum and the auto world! Great center for museum culture
