Impossible to miss this emblematic monument which stands on your right: the Atomium. Erected on the occasion of the 1958 Universal Exhibition organized on the Heysel Plateau, the Atomium consists of nine spheres 18 meters in diameter for a total height of 102 meters and represents an iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times. The different balls are accessible to the public and retrace the history of the monument and Expo 58. The last ball houses a panoramic restaurant.

Doomed to disappear at the end of the exhibition, the Atomium will be saved by its popularity to become this important international symbol of the city of Brussels but also of Belgium.

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.
Brussels' landmark was created for the 1958 World Exhibition.
An elementary cell of an iron crystal structure was enlarged 165 billion times.
It was a symbol of the peaceful use of nuclear energy and of the optimistic spirit of a time in which faith in scientific and technological progress was great.
