For the EXPO-1958 exhibition in Brussels, the Atomium was built as a symbol of the atomic age and the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. Architect Andre Waterkeyn, according to one version, designed a beryllium atom enlarged billions of times (and not an iron atom, as is commonly believed). In the periodic table of chemical elements, beryllium is designated by the symbol "Be", which corresponds to the letter code of Belgium.
Inside the Atomium there is an observation deck and a panoramic restaurant. Cultural and educational exhibitions are also held here. Address: Square de l'Atomium. How to get there: metro - line 6, station Heysel; tram number 7 to the Heysel stop. The cost of visiting is 11 euros (the price is valid for April 2015)
