What is the Globe?

It’s a two miles long “ascending-park”, with spaces to sit, study, and relax, but it is also a place to stay active thanks to its paths for cycling, fitness trails and children’s areas. It’s an entertainment area, with spaces for concerts and shows. It is open 24/7, for visitors to enjoy the park as well as the museum, cafes and restaurants situated in the podium of the building. It is a multiple observation point where visitors can enjoy the long-distance view from the top of the 180ft high building. It is a mega-tree where birds can find shelter thanks to its beautiful plants. It is a landmark that can be seen from the distance.
