To make the most of your trip to the Atomium, we organize professionally-qualified guided tours (last one starts at 4.30pm), but only on reservation.

The tour lasts about an hour and half, and will take you from the base sphere to the panoramic views, through all the different  areas open to the public. You’ll hear all about the history of the Atomium – from its construction to its renovation – Expo 58 (permanent exhibition) and the temporary exhibition.

Bookings for groups of up to 25 people. For larger groups, you can book more than one guide. We do ask that there is at least 1 adult per group of 10 children/students.

Guide (FR-NL-EN-DE-ES-IT-RU) : €70
