    Atomium


    The space-age leftover from the 1958 World Fair, Atomium, has virtually become a symbol of the city. The Mimi Europe theme park, next door to the Atomuum, shows Europe in miniature.

    You might want to consider getting a un jour travel card to visit the many more attractions in Laeken and the Heysel Plateau regions, located north-west of the city center. Particularly the Atomium, a 102m high outsized model of an iron molecule, which was intended to symbolize the potential of the country's industry. And the next door Mini-Europe theme park which displays the important landmarks of the 15 EU countries in miniature. (The EU is currently made up of Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Ireland, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Greece.) There are some other interesting places in the vicinity which I had not got the time to visit. The Royal Greenhouses, Chinese Pavilion and the Japanese Tower to name a few.

    Still at the site of the famous Atomium.

    The Atomium is indeed an impressive monument and it stands at 332 feet (102 meters) high.... with 9 spheres (59 feet [18m] in diameter) connected by tubes measuring 94 feet (29m) in length and 10 feet (3m) thick. Amazing, right? There are also many escalators connecting the spheres (to one other) and most of these are science exhibits. Another elevator (said to be Europe's FASTEST!) leads visitors straight up to an Observation Gallery and restaurant in the topmost atom.

    What are the opening hours of the Atomium? Well, it's opened from:-

    - 9AM to 8PM daily from April to August.

    - And, 10AM to 6PM from September to March.

    A ticket costs 200 Belgian Francs (for adults).

    photograph the lovely Atomium, a symbol and reminder of the 1958 Brussels World Fair and... and... this monument is Belgium's answer to the Eiffel Tower (in Paris, France) or the Statue of Liberty (in New York, U.S.A.).

    The Atomium literally dazzles at night when lights are switched on-and-off in a unique pattern that resembles revolving atoms! Very beautiful! :-)
