Atomium: Explore Brussels's Iconic Landmark
Overall a cool way to spend an hour or so - the audio tour is nice and gives a lot of information, but the attraction itself is much more interesting from the inside than out - the viewpoint at the top is great, but if you’re short on time, skip all the other balls.

Atomium: Explore Brussels's Iconic Landmark
My experience was terrible. I purchased entry tickets for myself and my son. We queued to get in and when we reached the entrance the assistant informed me that I had been sold an invalid product. I followed this up with two more members of staff, including the manager. All said the tickets I had been sold were not valid and the only way I could gain entry was by purchasing extra tickets. They were very apologetic and said this happens frequently with products bought from this company. I had no alternative but to queue again and buy new tickets which were actually cheaper than the ones this company had sold me. I contacted the customer services who were rude and dismissive and refuse to issue me with a refund. I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
