Atomium, Brussels

One of the most known symbols of Brussels and Belgium, a significant landmark of the Belgian capital. The facility was designed by Belgian engineer André Waterkeyn in 1958 as a symbol of the atomic age and the peaceful use of atomic energy.
⠀
The Atomium was renovated in 2006. Inside there are permanent and temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibition tells the history of the facility. In one of the upper pavilions there is a viewing platform, from where you can see not only the panorama of Brussels, but in good weather you can also see the neighboring Antwerp.
⠀
In the highest pavilion there is a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch with a magnificent view of the city from a height of about 100 meters.

It is better to plan your visit in advance to avoid large crowds.
