About this audio guide
This guide to Mini-Europe in Brussels opens with the park's ribbon-cutting in June 1989, five months before the real Berlin Wall came down — a coincidence built into the park's centerpiece: a miniature wall beside the Brandenburg Gate that visitors can press a button to topple. Along the way it covers the painstaking cost and labor behind other models, including the Grand-Place and the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Look for the real fragment of the wall resting nearby, just steps from its plastic double.
