Tips

Wanderschnecke

February 29, 2020

Very impressive building, which was built for the Expo in 1958, is over 100 meters high and represents a model of the element of iron consisting of nine atoms. The top sphere has an all-round view and a panoramic restaurant. The others have various exhibitions on the creation of the landmark and historical facts. Partly elevator, partly stairs, partly escalator. I recommend going in the afternoon because you don't have to queue. Admission costs 15 euros or 25% discount for Brussels Card holders, so you only pay 11.25. It is open daily between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

One of the most unusual and fascinating buildings in the world: an atom was built in Brussels as a large house to enter and discover.

The landmark of Brussels was created in 1958 for the world exhibition.

An elementary cell with an iron crystal structure was enlarged 165 billion times.

It was a symbol for the peaceful use of nuclear energy and for the optimistic spirit of a time when belief in scientific and technical progress was great.
