Atomium

Brussels' bold spirit reaches new heights.

Created for the 1958 World's Fair, the Atomium retains an instantly recognisable silhouette. Its structure represents an enlarged iron crystal unit cell, rather than a single atom. Part sculpture, part architecture, it recalls the scientific ambition and spirit of experimentation that inspired its creation and shaped the image of Brussels.

The visit combines interior spaces, exhibitions and a panoramic view of the capital. Its spaces invite you to discover the building from more than ground level. Before travelling, check the current arrangements: the official listing notes a temporary suspension of online ticket sales until the end of November.
