Atomium

  Atomium, a striking landmark in Brussels, is an iconic structure built for the 1958 World Expo. Designed by André Waterkeyn, its unique design symbolizes an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. Standing at 102 meters tall, the Atomium consists of nine interconnected spheres, offering panoramic views of the city from its top sphere. Open year-round, visitors can explore exhibitions within the spheres that delve into science, design, and Belgium's history. You’ll find it conveniently located at 1 Place des Martyrs, close to the Heysel Park, making it easy to include in your exploration of Brussels.
