Atomium, A Tribute to Science

Unmistakable symbol of Brussels and Belgium and unique feat in the history of architecture: the Atomium is today the most popular attraction in the Capital of Europe. Built for the 1958 World Exhibition, the Atomium is shaped on the model of an elementary iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times. Beyond surreal walks through tubes and spheres, the Atomium houses a permanent exhibition about its history as well temporary exhibitions for a broad public (sciences, design, society). The upper sphere offers unique and spectacular views across the city skyline. At night, 2970 lights offer a fairy dimension to the 102m high building.

Located at the foot of the Atomium, you can also visit Mini-Europe: the only park where you can have a whistlestop tour of Europe in a few short hours. All in all, 350 models and sites with an unequalled level of craftsmanship.
