An iconic symbol of Brussels! Admire from the park or head inside to see how this interesting structure came to be.
The #1 tourist attraction in Brussels. You can’t miss the Atomium. Literally, it stands out. This unique structure was made years ago for the World Fair in Brussels in 1958. The sciency symbol is more than a cool sight, though.
The Atomium is definitely touristy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a look. Get inside and you’ll walk through the tunnels and spheres of the structure to see a history exhibit. Plus, views of Brussels, a restaurant sit-down lunch, and temporary exhibits.
All six spheres are open to the public. If you’ve got time to wander in, check out the different levels.
