    Way better than I expected. It's kind of a tourist trap but even so it was really fun to visit. The art exhibits etc inside were actually pretty interesting and the views from the top were really good. Honestly I doubt that it has the architectural/historical significance they'd like you to believe it does, but it's worth checking out if you're in the area.

    While this is a Brussels landmark it’s really rather boring. It looks impressive from the outside, but you can save your money & look at it from the outside. The interior is an observation level on the top which is only 95 meters high. I’d recommend not paying to go in. The coolest thing is at the end they have some funky lights going up and down the last escalators.

    Extremely cool visit. Was glad to see that they managed to keep the full tour going while accommodating all the new Corona guidelines. The travelling art installation in the higher spheres had everyone stopped in their tracks as soon as they entered.

    Ein Highlight, welches man unbedingt besuchen sollte. Am besten die Tickets online vorab besorgen, so spart man sich die Wartezeit an der Kasse. Trotz einem regen Zulauf konnten wir das Erlebnis entspannt genießen.

    A must do if you are in Brussels. What a construction piece!!!! was extremely futuristic when built prior 1960s. You better take tickets online as I forgot and could not take them on the same day and needed to stay in the cue for almost an hour. The tour takes approximately an hour , once you manage to go in. You can read about its construction, you have a nice view up there and have a light and sound show.

    The past days in February were extremely warm! Let's take a look at Belgium's most famous architectural structure, the Atomium.Did you see the Atomium is wearing a little winter hat? That's because last week it was -10 degrees

    It's amazing! A real work of art, engineering and architecture. I've passed by it a couple of times over the past few years and I've always been amazed by it, but, unfortunately, I never got the chance to visit inside. Finally, this summer I chose to tick it off from the bucket list and I'm so glad I did it! First of all, approaching the park and seeing the Atomium from afar leaves you speechless because it's something you can't find anywhere else. The exhibition at the lower levels shows the whole history and construction process of the building it's so interesting and enriched by photos, documents and flyers from the '50s. Seeing the initial designs and then what it turned up to be, proves that the human mind is capable of grand things! The ID#2021 - Symbol exhibition is a full immersion in sound & light. Simply mind-blowing. Going from one sphere to the other is exciting and getting to the upper sphere and enjoy the panorama is really great. If you happen to be in Brussels, you definitely have to reserve a couple of hours to fully enjoy the Atomium!

    It is a landmark build as part of 1958 world fair expo. We had not get time to visit museums but it looks beautiful from outside. It has good amount of distance from parking so please plan accordingly. We have spent afternoon time from distance as weather was too hot. It has 9 atom shape connected with each ball.

    A must see if you’re in the area, wonderful views and experience for all the family. Would recommend buying tickets prior to visiting, saves an even longer wait at the entrance. It’s very touristy, which is too be expected, but for some people that really will ruin the experience.

    Fantastic architectural place. Its story clearly shows the advance of modern sciences, architecture and engineering. Fortunately there's no more censorship regarding photos taken of this monument and the beauty of this place can be shared worldwide. Musical and lighting experiences inside are a plus. Hint: buy your tickets online beforehand so you go directly to the entrance.

    Highly recommend going early as it can get quite busy. Beautiful building from the world fair. It's a fantastic experience, the panoramic view at the top isn't all that great since there isn't much buildings around. However the exhibitions are quite interesting and fascinating as it takes you through the history of the world fair and the construction of the building itself. Also there are some nice light shows in some parts of the exhibition. Keep in mind that you will have to use stairs in some parts of the building.

    Well restored expo monument in Brussel next to Mini Europe. Lots of available parking and next to train stop for easy access. Views will vary depending of weather but on good days you can see clearly across town. Good place for small children to visit or whole families.

    Ich war dienstlich in der Nähe von Brüssel, daher bot sich ein spontaner Besuch an. Nach kurzer Parkplatz-Suche ging es los. Bezahlen musste ich im Gebäude nebenan. Nach dem ich das Ticket hatte konnte ich ohne Wartezeit in das Atomium gehen. Ich war überrascht, was es alles zu sehen gab. Oben im Restaurant hatte ich einen Kaffee mit einer fantastischen Aussicht. Danach habe ich die restliche Ausstellung erkundet. Besonders gefallen hat mir die Ausstellung mit den Lichtern. Aber auch die Info-Tafeln zu Bau des Atomium waren sehr gut gestaltet und interessant.

    (Translated by Google) It is a monument built for Expo 58 (1958 Brussels World's Fair). This building was built by Andre Waterkin at a height of 102 meters and consists of 9 balls made of stainless steel connected together. The structure of this building is based on the structure of iron crystals and is 165 billion times larger than the actual size (Original) یک بنای یادبود است که برای اکسپو ۵۸ (نمایشگاه جهانی ۱۹۵۸ بروکسل) ساخته شده است. این بنا توسط آندره واترکین به ارتفاع ۱۰۲ متر و متشکل از ۹ گوی از جنس فولاد ضد زنگ متصل به هم ساخته شده است. ساختار این بنا بر اساس ساختار بلور آهن و در مقیاس ۱۶۵ میلیارد بار بزرگ‌تر از اندازه واقعی طراحی شده است

    A must see (at least from the outside) for all the tourists coming to Brussels! Nonetheless, if you’d want to go inside please reconsider! The view from the top of Atomium is very nice but the whole experience and side attractions are nothing special. Unfortunately, slightly overpriced for what you get…

    Very nice looking from the outside, the elevator to the restaurant on top is mesmerizing, even the food is amazing. The reason I gave 4 stars not 5 was because my RV got broken into WITH police on the street, I went to the station they didn't care!

  • 4/5 Shishir 1 year ago on Google
    A good place which is the information about its history and construction. The lift takes you directly to the uppermost sphere from where you can watch the city all around. The other spheres can be explored only after coming down. The audio visual display could have been better.

    Very interesting place to visit. No need to book during the week begging of February. It might be different during the high season. The tickets also allow entry to the Museum of Design. You need to book in advance to eat at the restaurant on top. Beautiful views of Brussels

  • 5/5 Kieran F. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow!!! I've read some reviews saying it's not worth your time but I absolutely loved it, from the elevator up, to the one back down and all the different rooms, the light show, the information and the education I received whilst I was there were brilliant. I'd recommend anyone give it a go whilst they're in Brussels.

  • 3/5 Antonio Di M. 1 year ago on Google
    The building is definitely a must see from the outside, very nice outstanding structure, and worth a picture with this iconic landscape. However, tickets are very pricy to visit the inside, which is doubly worth it (and that's why I gave it 3 stars): it's an exposition of the Expo that gave birth to this structure; some techno like lights game around the stairs; a nice spot with windows to enjoy the panoramic. But.. it's that worth a 18 euro price per person? Probably not.

    This was such a pretty place especially when the sun hits it correctly. With the tour it’s 16 euros per person and 8.5 for kids. A little pricy but you can combine it with the Little Europe tickets! I definitely recommend for a good view and lovely photos! Overall a 4.5 just because the top is a little boring as you will probably only stay up there for a 10 minute experience. But the light shows and the glowing escalators made up for it and was absolutely beautiful!

    An excellent attraction. Easy to get into, a reasonable cafe and gift shop at the entrance/exit. Lots of interesting information about the building. Exciting and interesting art installations to provide something to post online! A fabulous view from the top. The only slight issue is the queue for the lift to the top. It takes about half an hour but is well worth it. The queue to come down is much shorter.

    Amazing place. The visit to Atomium is worth every penny. Once inside, you go through different levels and escalators, each displaying an immersive performance of digital lights and music that will definitely mesmerize you. The experience is very futuristic and exciting overall, and the view of Brussels from above is just impressive.

    I really had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The amount of climbing was not excessive. The history and medics presented was interesting and engaging. The light show was super! I’m Terri Lu afraid of highs but the views from inside were beautiful and I felt secure. There were lots of families with children and they seem entertained.

    Iconic. However, I believe this location could be improved. Car parking is abundant in the immediate vicinity. But it also comes and goes. It is near a road that also poses a risk to the tourists to this location. It is an iconic location; however, I believe the other management aspects are lacking. It can significantly improve the visitor experience if they plan properly how to manage the other issues, particularly safety.

    It’s a must-visit if you're in Brussels. The Atomium is a landmark modernist building in Brussels, Belgium, originally constructed as the centerpiece of the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The entrance fee is €16, which also includes admission to the design museum. The light spectacle is wonderful and serves as the main attraction.

    I was not sure about this place and almost missed it, but finally decided to visit it - I’m very happy that I did it, it’s great. The construction is impressive, very photogenic. View from the top is great, the whole city is visible. I really like the light exhibition inside, almost psychotic (in a positive manner). If you are not sure if you should to see it, the answer is yes, you should.

    As many have noted, we were kinda skeptical about visiting but SO glad we did! This place was really neat! Built for the World’s Fair it showcases what we believed technology would become… It’s a fun interactive exhibit with a great light show and great views of the surrounding city. It was one of our favorite attractions!

  • 4/5 SP 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    Truly a iconic site for Belgium. The crowd during the Christmas weekend was still considerable and waiting time to go to the upper deck was around 15 minutes. However, the telescopes at the top were paid which was a bummer. They should have been included in the ticket price. For me, the best part was the psychedelic sound and light show. You can just sit and enjoy the show for as much time as you want if you are not going to visit the nearby attractions.

    I really enjoyed visiting the Atomium. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can do a tour on your own. It's really interesting to learn more about the Expo in 1958. I went with my son of 10 years old and he really liked it. The view is also great!

    The waiting time is too long and unfortunately it was not worth the wait. It's designed for people to go through quickly and without much thought. It's also definitely too pricey for what it is, even in combination with the design museum, which was also not worth our time. The Atomium is best admired from the outside (with a waffle), not from the inside.

    The Atomium ( /əˈtoʊmiːəm/ ə-TOH-mee-əm) is a landmark building in Brussels (Belgium), originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It is located on the Heysel Plateau in Laeken, where the exhibition took place. It is now a museum. Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak,it stands 102 metres (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18-metre-diameter (59 ft) stainless steel clad spheres are connected in the shape of a unit cell that could represent an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes connecting the spheres enclose stairs, escalators and an elevator (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels. The building was completely renovated between 2004 and 2006 by the companies Jacques Delens and BESIX. This site is served by Heysel/Heizel metro station on line 6 of the Brussels metro.

    From outside it doesn't say much but once you get inside and go up to the balls you really understand what you're dealing with. I was taken aback by the majesty of this structure, its meaning and the reasons why Brussels decided to build it. I truly appreciated the museum and the historical explanations behind its construction. The exhibition available on the top ball was nice, too. I'm glad I went inside because from outside I wouldn't have been able to capture what a work of art the Atomium is.

    Wow, a must visit when you're in Brussels Belgium. It's really beautiful at night with all the light and you can see the whole Brussels when you're inside at the top. Tickets cost about 16 euros and it is subsidized for students. You can also use the ticket to see the design of the museum. Not a bad experience after all☺️

    Great place to visit when in Brussels. The view is amazing, the ticket price is fair, the museum and the history of Atomium itself are very interesting. The restaurant at the top has great food, prices don't match quality exactly, but you are playing for the view as well. The staff was overall friendly.

    The Atomium is a unique experience that lets you see some good sights, sounds and music but prepare to wait in queue as there is only 1 elevator that holds 12-14 people taking groups up and down from the top floor. 4/5 stars as it's really not clear that after coming down from the top floor elevator you need to keep left and go back up an escalator to see the rest of the floors. Very easy to walk out with other crowds through the shop exit.

    An interesting and futuristic attraction even though it was built over 60 years ago. It is well maintained and has a breathtaking view from the top sphere. However, staff there don't give sufficient explanations of where to go and as a result a lot of people only visit the top sphere from the central elevator. In addition, i am finding the tickets overpriced considering that there are not many things to see and experience there. For this, i am giving 3/5 stars.

    Very unique building that was much bigger than I was expecting and visually stunning. Great views from the top and some interesting exhibits inside including the history of the building. There's a linear path they guide you round to see everything taking between 1-2hrs. Would recommend a visit on your visit of Brussels.

    Very nice family-friendly attraction. Built for the world fair in 1958. The design of this monument is spectacular. Built to represent an iron atom. Inside are galleries about the world expo, the history of the monument, and light shows. Amazing views from up in the Atomium. Would definitely recommend. Going from sphere to sphere in really cool escalators was epic. The panorama from the highest sphere is excellent 👌.

    There are two parts of a visit. First, you take the staircase to levels and enjoy light shows with music. Second, come back downstairs and queue for the elevator. The elevator takes you to watch tower part where one can have higher look at view. Tickets can be purchased in the entrance (with combination of Mini Europe optionally).

    Loved the attraction, very interesting building. Good views from the globe's. Easy to get to from the city. Bad points were: huge queue to get a ticket to get in. Also the internal queue once your in for the lift was taking almost 1hr (so we didn't bother with the lift to the highest point).

In der Woche ab 15:30 Uhr erst einmal in den Mini-Europapark, dann ab ca. 17 Uhr in das tolle Bauwerk ... echt interessant 🙂 Eigentlich sollte um 18 Uhr geschlossen werden, wir wurden aber vom Personal noch gefragt, ob wir die Fahrstuhlfahrt ganz nach oben mitmachen wollen ... war echt super 👍🙂👍

    Very interesting construction, one of the symbols of Brussels. Worth seeing and visiting inside. Watch out for temporary exhibitions. You can also explore the city from above, as there are several viewing points in Atomium. Consider going to a restaurant on the top of Atomium. It's accesible by metro, buses and many other means of transport.

    Another engineering marvel in Europe. Pretty interesting how the structure is seen from different angles. Better to take tickets in advance if there is plans to enter. Decent crowd and a place for some nice photography. Worth visiting once for sure. Easy access from nearby metro station. There is also a tram station nearby.

    I wouldn't bother paying the money to go inside. You can literally circle the viewing gallery in a few minutes, and it was tremendously underwhelming. Sometimes, it's better to be on the outside looking in. Fascinating structure though.

    A nice place to visit in Brussels. It's a museum, a different kind of different design so it gives a unique experience. The view from the top is great. Even you can see the mini Europe nearby. There is a queue for tickets, it costs 16 euros. The elevator and the escalator looks cool too with the lighting. A one time visit is recommended, you can come alone spend some time or with your friends and family. There is good connectivity to this place. It is next to the train station. Overall a good different experience.

    An amazing piece of architecture that harkens back to a time where anything felt possible in Europe. Built in the 1950s, The Atomium feels as futuristic now as I imagine it did back then. The queue was roughly an hour, but it was a busy weekend so I guess that is to be expected. Although the queue was large, it never felt busy or packed once we were inside. The restaurant at the top was fantastic, I would recommend a traditional Belgium beer and a traditional Belgian waffle if you don’t want to break the bank too much. The views were spectacular. The light show inside one of the “balls” was phenomenal. A technological marvel only triumphed by the marvel of the “building” itself. The Worlds Fair museum in another of the “balls” was fascinating. Why don’t we have a Worlds Fair anymore?! This is a must for anyone visiting Brussels!

    It’s a cool place to experience the 1950s sci-fi feels. The light shows in the atom balls are super cool! However, with a 16 EUR ticket (in March 2024), it feels expensive. Most of the displays in the museum look old and uncared for. And if you have seen light shows in clubs before, it may not appear to be that novel anymore. It is a good visit for locals but for international tourists, I would consider it optional.

    Excellent attraction when visiting Brussels or Belgium, Mark, not overly priced and we waited a little while, but it was a weekend to be expected. Places to eat and drink nearby are limited, but they are available. A great experience, and one that I would definitely recommend to take some fantastic pictures, and experience the whole elevation

    Nice place, they take also a picture of you before you go inside and then you can buy it at the end of the visit. 2 separate path, one is inside 4 "balls" and it consists in an explanation of how it's been built. The second path it consists in take the elevator and go on the top inside the highest ball(beautiful place to take pictures). I suggest to go around 12:00 otherwise you will find a lot of people waiting for the visit. With the ticket we get also a free entry at the design museum close to building number 5.

    The idea is futuristic technology and it's great for kids but entertaining for adults too. It's filled with bright lights and sounds and the escalators to from one level to the other are really well done. We went up and down the elevator several times trying to get a video of the ceiling. There's lots of space for car park but we have to walk a little to get the entrance.

    A fun side visit from Brussels - an easy and quick train ride. It's a big outdoor space with giant atom sculpture/building - and lots of miniatures building/countries to walk through. Plan a few hours to enjoy the space - probably a half day trip in total. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is also a restaurant onsite.

    The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels, originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It stands 102 m tall. Its nine 18 m diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected, so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell α-iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

    One of most famous buildings in Brussels, you can reach it by car or the metro, very close to other attractions like the Mini Europe. You can go inside and do more activities and enjoy the panoramic view, or stay outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and you can buy your tickets online to avoid the long waiting in the line. Usually many people will be there and it will be crowded but it deserves to visit it when you are in Brussels.... Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Binxu748er 2 years ago on Google
    Giant metal construction built for Brussels during a fair and congress meeting to show what the Belgians can achieve. Structure resembles the iron atom (FE). 360 Degree view from the top sphere at 92m height. Light and music shows in another sphere. Perfect for photography - especially at night.

  • 5/5 Sandra S. 2 years ago on Google
    It was fun and you get value for your visit with other museums in the proximity. The light show inside the place is pretty cool, as well as the elevator

  • 5/5 Mehdi G. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the prettiest monuments I have ever seen. It's really amazing but it's not that much interesting inside. It doesn't worth 16 euros. The only thing you get is a very beautiful view of Brussels in the highest sphere... You will see some lightings in the connections between spheres and some historical photos and videos in other spheres(atoms)...

  • 4/5 Jakub S. 2 years ago on Google
    I like the Atomium. It is interesting architectural challenge. Maybe not so important to get inside.

  • 5/5 S M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great way to view the surrounding area of Brussels. The grounds are well maintained. Many great places for photo ops. I believe at the time a few years ago, you were able to pay a small fee and spend the night in one of the spheres. Since the pandemic things may have changed. That would have been so awesome! There is a long walk to the entrance so anyone with limitations may want to keep this in mind. I'm sure there may be some type of accommodations. Sorry but I did not make notice of them. This is still a good place to visit.

  • 5/5 praveen kumar O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit with the kids and family. Spectacular panaromic views from the top floor/restaurant. Additionally it's proximity to Mini Europe, Planetarium and the Dino Expo allows for a worthy day trip all within a few meters...

  • 5/5 Richard O. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good views all around 360°. I was there on a school trip 45 years ago, I didn't know then you could go to the top. The elevator has a glass roof so get your phone on video. When it was built the elevator was one of the fastest. The metro 6 brings you there from Brussels. You can get a metro ticket to use for the whole day foe €8.

  • 5/5 Eonean 2 years ago on Google
    Entrance costs around 17 euros. You have a restaurant and souvenire shop. We went with the elevator to the floor with the view and then once you go down, you can take the escalator to lower floors which is pretty cool.

    A completely unusual place with futuristic vibes. Superb and well maintained. It's scary because it's big 😅😅 once again quiet place, even with many people in the same place. You can visit inside Atomium, but you have to pay. Will stay for a next visit on the inside, I imagine the view from up there 💯💯💯💯

  • 4/5 Aziz B. 2 years ago on Google
    Worth it ! The view is breathtaking and it has really interesting things inside. you can expect 1.5 to 2 hrs to cover it from inside. Consider also putting sometime waiting on the queue to buy the ticket (usually get busy in the weekend)

  • 5/5 Jakub P. 1 year ago on Google
    I thought this was just a viewpoint when I arrived there, was totally not expecting the amazing audiovisual experience included. The restaurant seemed nice too, expensive but it's hard to beat that view (didn't eat there). The queue gets long however, over an hour on a Saturday for us, consider visiting on a weekday.

  • 4/5 Antonio C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place, with panoramic views of the city. You have to queue for 10-15 min to take the elevator and go up, I recommend taking tickets online to avoid the queue for the ticket too. Arrived at the top, games of lights accompanied the visit. Recommended as a monument symbol of the city a bit 'far from the center but easily accessible.

  • 5/5 Gael F. 1 year ago on Google
    It's really amazing to realize it was built so many years ago. So different from classic museum. The view is nice from above. It can be crowded around 11am. So select early or around 1pm for less waiting. Restaurant is middle expensive, food is great.

  • 5/5 Taro 1 year ago on Google
    It is located not far from the center of the city. It will take 30 min by tram. The shape of Atomium is quite unusual and interesting. We can go up to some of the balls by escalators. The view from the top was really good. Some of the windows were not the best condition to enjoy the view through it, but still worth visiting. In the morning, not crowded and you can buy the tickets quickly.

  • 3/5 Katka K. 1 year ago on Google
    I think it is very important place for that country and maybe I, as polish person, can’t appreciate Atomium so much but I expected a bit of scientific interesting facts, not only history of the structure. But still panoramic view was worth it.

    Such an amazing building constructed over 70 years ago for the 58th Expo. looking at it just makes me think of the architect who designed this majestic building with all those different dome towers. Imagine how much effort was put into connecting them. It still looks very shinny to me. I believe a lot of maintenance has been done to it to keep this fresh look.

  • 5/5 Charles S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an interesting and amazing place to visit with fun for the entire family! Do yourself a favor and purchase your ticket before you get there, and plan for this to be your first stop of the day. Very convenient metro access so don't bother trying to drive. Following your tour, stop at the snack shop just outside and enjoy and amazing waffle and coffee!!!

  • 5/5 Pasan S. 9 months ago on Google
    It's incredible how human can build such a thing, and it's one of the most visited place in Brussels. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to go up inside the building, but looking from down below is gigantic. And easy to get there just by train then walk about 5 minutes then you will get there.

  • 3/5 Jose O. 9 months ago on Google
    I didn't really get a chance to see this. I just walked around and went to the bus. That's the reason for the low score because I had to get back to the train and some other excursions we had. Next time, I'll go and check it out. The scenery is beautiful.

  • 4/5 Miguel C. 9 months ago on Google
    Impressive build, both from the inside and the outside. It's worth visiting, even though it will take you 20-30 min by metro to get there. For some reason there's no air conditioner and it gets pretty hot in the summer. Be prepared for some long queues, but the view up there it's worth it. You basically get a 360 view of the surroundings. Also, going on the escalator through different levels it's pretty cool and an unique experience

  • 4/5 Brandon K. 9 months ago on Google
    Really cool. The light show and the panorama are awesome but it's hot inside in the summer and a little overpriced at 17 euro each. They also take your picture and sell it to you in three copies with a key chain for 20 euro if you want it. It's a tourist trap but it's fun. The restaurant up top was closed but is pricey! A full course meal is 80 euro each. The sacred heart basilica provides a better view for less.

  • 3/5 Nadia B. 9 months ago on Google
    It was okay, even if you're a little afraid of heights as the balls have a museum and a light show in them so you don't really know how high you are until you're at the last ball (with escalators). My partner went to the top ball (with the lift) and said it wasn't really needed as you see most of the view from the balls via escalator access. The queue was busy for buying tickets on the day, so I recommend buying them in advance online, although we managed to buy tickets for atomium and mini Europe while stood in the queue so that was a bonus! Honestly, more pretty from the outside. You wouldn't miss much if you skipped the inside.

  • 4/5 Jay H. 9 months ago on Google
    Something interesting to see if you are in the area. Enjoyed the combination of light and music. Shows some photos and videos of how they built it in the 50s. Has great view in the top chamber. The tickets are a bit expensive though.

  • 4/5 Matt W. 8 months ago on Google
    The center attraction of the World’s Fair in 1958, the Atomium is a feat of engineering that offers a solid few hours of education and exploration. I especially enjoyed the dynamic light and music show in the middle section, and the viewing area at the top offers views of the entire city! The only drawback I would add is that there was a very long line to enter, I suggest purchasing tickets ahead of time in order to cut down on the wait time once you get there.

  • 5/5 Daiva G. 8 months ago on Google
    Impressive building!!! It is already seen from far far away! Don't be late, because ticket office closing and last entry in the building at 5:30 pm. After going down from the top with a lift don't forget to take an elevator on the other side of the lift and visit lower floors of this incredible building. They are even more impressive than the top! 🤩

  • 5/5 Abdulkareem F. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to check when visiting Brussels You will find a place inside to hear and see the music with wonderful rhyming between sound and lights Also you can see the city from the top and the close sight (Mini Europe) And in the end you will get photos for you and your friends and a key chain

  • 5/5 Joshua M. 8 months ago on Google
    The Atomium is an interesting building with an even more interesting inside. The "balls" are filled with information and light shows and you can walk around them. Once you're finished with that, you also have the opportunity to enter the highest of the "balls" through an elevator (the fastest elevator of 1958 to be exact) to enjoy a view of downtown Brussels. You can buy tickets in advance since it is often crowded, however, you can get student and children discounts if you buy it there.

  • 5/5 damanpreet s. 8 months ago on Google
    My visit to the Atomium in Brussels was an absolute delight! The futuristic architecture of this iconic landmark left me in awe. It's a must-visit attraction that truly stands out in the city's skyline. I highly recommend experiencing the light exhibition while at the Atomium. The dazzling display added a whole new dimension to the visit and made the entire experience even more memorable. It was a fantastic way to appreciate the structure in a different light, quite literally! Booking the tickets online was a smart decision, as it helped me avoid the long lineup and save valuable time. With the place being busy, it's definitely a tip worth following to make the most of your visit. One of the highlights for me was discovering the lovely picnic spots around the Atomium. The picturesque surroundings provided a perfect setting to relax, enjoy some delicious snacks, and take in the beautiful views. All in all, the Atomium is a must-see attraction in Brussels, and the light exhibition is a great way to enhance the experience. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking to admire stunning architecture, this place won't disappoint. Plan ahead, get your tickets online, and don't forget to bring some snacks for a delightful picnic experience!

  • 5/5 Derek W. 8 months ago on Google
    This is so much bigger and better than anticipated and has apparently been refurbished but looks brand new. Fortunately there's a lift (elevator) from the visitor entre to the highest ball from which a great view can be seen. There are recreational pursuits for youngsters in several balls but these are only accessible by multiple stairs. A well stocked gift and souvenir shop marks the exit.

    Such an incredible thing to see! We didn’t actually go up to the top as it was so busy and the queue was very long but it was great enough from the outside! Would recommend buying tickets in advance. The cafe is really nice too! Easy to get to by train. A must see

  • 4/5 Karol G. 7 months ago on Google
    Definitely a must see when in Brussels. It’s incredible to see! It’s incredible to see how big it is in person.

    The Atomium in Brussels is often praised for its unique and futuristic design, offering panoramic views of the city from its observation decks.

    My friends and I visited this on a Friday so wasn't as busy. We bought tickets in advance from the tourist information in the grand place in the centre of Brussels. Cost 31 euro for Atomic and Mini Europe tickets. It's a little out from Brussels but worth the visit. We also had a beer in the bar at the top. Really nice attraction and we spent about 2 hours here

  • 5/5 Nishad K S. 6 months ago on Google
    Experiencing Atomium during sunset and into the night is truly special. The way it lights up as darkness falls must have been a mesmerizing sight. Atomium is undeniably a significant and iconic attraction in Brussels, leaving a lasting impression on visitors. Your visit during this time allowed you to fully appreciate its beauty and importance in the city's landscape.

    We visited on Sunday from the centre of Brussels on E Scooters! (If you do the same 40 minutes and more importantly make sure you lock your scooter) We arrived and was pretty impressed with the size of the thing. I honestly didn't know we could go to the top but I paid for 2 tickets and up we went. I do think at 17euros is a little steep but when it Rome.. Pretty cool views from the top and you can see over to Brussels and beyond. You also get a really cool light display in one of the balls and a museum with details on the old Expo.

    It's a nice place but it's out of the way from most tourist attractions. I tried taking the tram but there was some type of service interruption and the tram was stopped earlier. I had to pay $30 for an Uber each way. Plus the tickets are $16 each for something that's not even a real museum.

  • 3/5 Oscar M. 5 months ago on Google
    The Atomium in Belgium is a true architectural wonder. This iconic structure, resembling atoms connected in a molecule, is a symbol of innovation and human achievement. When you visit, you'll be amazed at the breathtaking panoramic views from the spheres, and the engaging exhibitions inside. It's an inspiring journey through science and design, making it a must-see for anyone in Brussels.

  • 5/5 Josh H. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a wonderful experience visiting here! Easy public transport links from the city and then a great view all around. If that had been it I'd have been slightly disappointed but the light/sound experience was incredible. Don't know if it's a permanent instalation though. Also worth buying tickets in advance and going on a weekday not in the height of summer.

  • 5/5 Usman N. 4 months ago on Google
    Brussels main architectural monument. The ticket price ranges from 15-20 Euros per person and you can go in the spheres and then explore. Good for a day out as the park is close by the view from top is good however it's not a skyscraper so keep expectations accordingly :) The connection to here and Brussels city centre is via trams which are frequently operating so no issues in reaching

  • 5/5 Una H. 4 months ago on Google
    We just had to get up close and personal with the Atomium when we visited Brussels. Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it was built as part of a World's Fair. We didn't go in but just went out to see it. Very cool!

  • 5/5 Connor S. 4 months ago on Google
    Very interesting attraction. Definitely go inside and check out the different exhibits. The line for the elevator to the top was very long, looked to be about 45 minutes. This was at peak time in the middle of the day.

  • 4/5 Tomás A. 3 months ago on Google New
    A mandatory monument to visit in Brussels, you'll be surprised how large it is live! Inside the spheres you can read about the history of it and have a mesmerizing light-sound experience. The discount for students is really good and you can also buy a ticket for mini-europe. I was hoping for a much richer or bigger experience for the price I paid! It just felt very short... but it's a place you have to see.

  • 5/5 Victoria H. 3 months ago on Google New
    So much better than we first thought. Its about 1h to go through. Don't be scared of the 80 stairs up. After each of them you can sit down & catch your breath. I would also recommend to go to mini Europe next to it. Be aware of the closing time if you go in the evening. I think it's worth it going because then you can see the lights going on.

  • 5/5 nitesh s. 4 months ago on Google
    The music light show inside will just blow your mind. You will get goosebumps. It's an altogether different feeling. The way they have played with light and sound. You can feel each and every beat. One of a kind place . Not to be missed . The monument looks awesome both in night and day. With lights On it's very beautiful

  • 5/5 Farid E. 3 months ago on Google New
    I enjoyed Atomium more than anywhere else in Brussels. You can enjoy it from both outside and inside and take great pictures. Each level has some special moments and features. There's a restaurant in the highest shpere that has a great view over Brussels and surrounding. I highly recommend it

  • 5/5 Șerban P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Excellent museum with beautiful views from the top. First thing after entering the museum you will enter the elevator which takes you to the highest point of the museum, where there is also an expensive restaurant. Don't miss the futuristic escalators and the light show which surrounds them and also one of the rooms at the top!

  • 5/5 DarkSide_999 3 months ago on Google New

  • 5/5 Allison C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Such a unique experience! We didn’t do much research before visiting this attraction so the light shows were a great surprise. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Brussels. It’s easy to access by tram (20-30 minutes from the city center) and a short walk. There are free bathrooms inside the Atomium as well!

    It is a very nice concept and message, happy that I visited, but do not expect some modern VR experience. Go to the top and have a few photos when there is no queue, then explore the rest of the Atomium from the escalators that start also from the ground floor.

    A nice place, but too pricey for what it is. Taking pictures of it from the outside feels like it is half of the fun. Inside you'll find lots of history about the structure itself, which is great, but doesn't justify the ticket price.
