Atomium
On the way in Brussels, we made a detour to the landmark of the city of the Atomium. Built in 1958 for the World Exhibition, it is still an experience today, we were very excited. Even the laser show in one of the dome accompanied by electronic music may seem a bit retro, but it impressed us a lot. definitely worth a visit!

Built for the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels, the Atomium remains one of Belgium’s most iconic architectural landmarks. Its nine interconnected spheres, originally representing an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times, gleam above the city skyline like a vision of the future. Our visit to this retro-futuristic structure was a fascinating journey through mid-century optimism, science, and design.
