Step inside Brussels' most unusual icon with this Atomium and Design Museum ticket. Explore the spheres' exhibitions and light installations, take in the city panorama from above, then walk over to the Design Museum.
Full description
This combination ticket pairs two stops on the Heysel plateau. The Atomium is the enlarged iron-crystal structure built for the 1958 World Fair, with exhibitions on its history, digital-art and light displays, and a viewpoint over Brussels from above.
A short walk away, the Design Museum covers modern design. Visitors praise the architecture and the mix of older and newer technology, though some found the museum smaller than expected and wanted more variety around the site.
Allow roughly two hours for both, with flexible entry during opening hours.
