Due to an unexpected technical issue, one of our escalators is currently out of service. Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
Visits to the Atomium are continuing as usual. Visitors are asked to use the stationary escalator to continue their visit.
Thank you for your comprehension.
Renovated as a major national event between 2004 and 2006, the Atomium - which was not intended to survive Expo 58 for which it was the flagship construction - is today, with over 800,000 visitors per year, the most popular tourist attraction in the capital of Europe, an art centre and an international symbol of Brussels and Belgium.

Due to its unique structure in the world, its emblematic character and its resolutely futuristic aspect: the Atomium enjoys international recognition at an institutional, cultural and artistic level. This strong brand image offers many opportunities for collaboration, ranging from renting a part of the building to co-branding and filming.
