About

The Atomium was never intended to become another popular tourist attraction in Brussels, rivaling the fame of the "Manneken Pis". The futuristic sculpture was supposed to be dismantled after the exhibition ended, but people, who had fallen in love with this two-ton metal marvel, wouldn't allow it.

The height of the Atomium reaches an impressive 102 meters, and the structure consists of nine spheres, six of which are accessible to tourists. For convenience, there are two elevators designed to transport visitors to the top in just 25 seconds. The Atomium also houses an educational center that offers group lessons on atomic structure, features an observation deck, and even boasts its own restaurant.

Andare a Bruxelles senza visitare l' Atomium è come andare a Parigi senza salire sulla Tour Eiffel. Probabilmente la vista non è la stessa visto che la posizione dell'edificio non è al centro città, ma dentro l'Atomium c'è qualcosa che ti porta in un'altra dimensione. All'inzio sembra di stare in un museo ma poi ci sono tanti giochi di luci e di avverte quasi di essere su una navicella spaziale. Sulla cima raggiungibile con un affollato ascensore si può ammirare la vista di Bruxelles e dei dintorni.

Very impressive building outside, but there are not s lot of interesting things to see or do inside. Just a pretty good view from above. It is really overrated. Just take some photos outside the impressive building just to say that you visited it. If I ever go to Brussels again, I'll rather wander somewhere else.

Reservar con antelación. Muy interesante la visita pero para subir a la bola más alta hay que hacer un poco de cola
