The minute you rest your eyes on this unique, futuristic building, you are given a precursor for what to expect on the inside. The Atomium in Brussels is made up of nine spheres, connected to each other in what resembles the atomic bond of an Iron crystal. Completed in 1958 for the World Fair, the building now functions as a museum, with both permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Visit the permanent exhibitions and learn all about this fascinating building, and how it has become an icon of not just the city, but the country. Perhaps the crowning glory of the structure is the panorama sphere on the 7th floor, giving you unparalleled views of the city. You can see the Koekelberg Basilica, the Grand Place, and on a clear day, even the port at Antwerp! Hop on the escalators bringing you to the different floors where you will be entertained on your minute-long ride with a mini light show. Often labelled as an insanely bizarre structure guaranteed to make your jaw drop, experience a truly unique sight by visiting the Atomium in Brussels.
