The Atomium is the symbol of Brussels and Belgium, a unique monument and an emblematic witness to the Universal Exhibition of 1958

The Atomium is the most popular attraction in the Capital of Europe.

Take a surrealist walk through tubes and spheres, with a permanent exhibit dedicated to the history of the building: the Atomium also showcases temporary exhibits for all as well as a series of workshops and activities imbued with a futuristic and universal spirit.

The highest sphere opens onto a breathtaking view on the city of Brussels and surroundings.

At night 2,970 diodes lighten up the 102 metre-tall construction and giving it a fairy-like look.
