​The Atomium is, without a doubt, one of the most stunning and unique pieces of architecture in Europe. Even getting to the site in Brussels, the massive, gleaming structure—a representation of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times—is absolutely breathtaking. For that external view alone, the trip is entirely worth it. Taking the elevator up the central axis to the top sphere is a thrilling experience, and the panoramic views from 92 meters up offer a fantastic perspective over the city and the surrounding Heysel area. ​However, the overall experience inside the spheres was very different from what I had anticipated. I went in expecting a straightforward science museum, perhaps a deep dive into atomic structure and the history of the 1958 World Expo it was built for. While there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to Expo 58, which is genuinely interesting for history buffs, the rest of the tour felt like a delightful, if slightly jarring, contrast. ​Moving between the spheres via those long, tunnel-like escalators—which are a spectacular sight themselves, illuminated with dancing colored lights—felt less like moving through a museum and more like exploring a futuristic spaceship. One sphere, in particular, was home to a completely immersive, psychedelic digital art installation. It was loud, pulsing with light, and utterly captivating, turning the space into something like a high-tech art gallery rather than a historical exhibit. ​In the end, I'd say the Atomium is a good visit, but be prepared for an unexpected journey. You go for the iconic, monumental architecture and stay for the strange, often trippy, contemporary art installations hidden inside. It’s a wonderful landmark, just a wonderfully strange museum.

It's a sculptural genius, we had been there just to view it in the evening and walked around in the park nearby. The ambiance is calm and cosy, definitely recommended to visit with friends and family.

There's a huge historical significance behind the wonderful structure built for the world's fair. Google it then visit it proper. You can skip the lines by purchasing online for about €16 no more Or you can wait in line. It closes at 6pm on most days. The views are stunning there's lots of fun things to do once you visit the lower levels. I don't want to spoil it for you :-)

Beautiful tourist destination is Brussels, Belgium. There was a steady line of tourists enjoying the beauty of this modernist building. It is an important landmark in Brussels. It was originally constructed as the center piece of the 1958 Brussels Expo. Now it is a museum and an art center. When one stands under it one is likely to marvel at the huge symmetrical structure. The huge globes are interconnected symmetrically giving the building the shape of an atomic structure. Atomium is built in a very beautiful location, surrounded by fine gardens and a nice row of trees.

Just such an amazing experience, the outside structure doesn't prepare you for how it is inside! Very easy to get to from Brussels via the Metro and when you reach Heizel / Heysel station Atomium is only a short walk away. It also looks like it has good car parking.

Only had about 1.5 hours to spare. Glad we got a chance to explore. Amazing views. We also did quick walkthrough of the design museum. Parking was metered. There is a small cafe just before entrance with delicious waffles.

Well worth the trip out of the town center. We took the toot bus as this allowed us lots of options for exploring. Inside the Atomium was well laid out and alot of interesting facts. We didn't got to the viewing platform as the queue was really long about 45 minutes but you still get to go inside and enjoy the lighting effects they created. We went back layer that evening to see it in the dark as the toot bus was all day.

Mini Europe is a wonderful visit. The models are incredibly detailed and the booklet given at the start of the tour has loads of information on the EU and each country’s exhibit. A really nice little park to spend a couple hours at!

A fun travel through Europe in just a couple of hours! The miniature landmarks are impressively detailed, and it’s both fun and educational (a guide booklet is given free with the entrance ticket that gives basic info about the country and the various landmarks) to see so many iconic sites in one place. The park is easy to walk around, and perfect both for adults and children. Some exhibits are interractive, which elevates the experience, especially for children. Allow at least 2 hours for the visit, if you are also reading the guide booklet while seeing the landmarks and taking photos.

Europe in miniature at Mini-Europe 🌍🏛️🎡⏳ Amazing interactive figures of famous landmarks from across Europe—each one crafted with impressive detail! It took me about 2 hours to explore the entire place, and every corner had something fascinating to discover. Recommended for families, curious travelers, and anyone who wants a quick tour of Europe in one spot 🌟📸.

A fun and unique way to see all of Europe in one place! Mini-Europe is a really charming attraction located right next to the Atomium. The park is beautifully designed with detailed miniature models of famous European landmarks – from the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben to the canals of Venice and the Acropolis. It’s both fun and educational, especially if you enjoy travel and culture. The paths are easy to walk, and there’s plenty of information about each country and monument. It’s a great place for families, school groups, or anyone who wants to experience a “tour of Europe” in just a couple of hours. The best part is the attention to detail in the models – they are very well maintained and make for great photos. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Brussels, especially in combination with the Atomium.

A demonstration of all of EU’s nations and cities as well as some of UK too! The replicas are well maintained and have an interactive touch button which mostly played the anthem. The total time for the place can be around 1-1.5hrs if you wish to go detail by detail else it can be done in under 30mins too. It closes entry at 5pm, so I did do a re-entry after finishing the 4pm planetarium show. The metro stop is nearby and is quite accessible. Entry charges and packages are acceptable.

Decent experience can spend a god hour or 2 walking around. Good if you like miniature stuff. We enjoyed it but not sure if we would come again. One of those places once you’ve seen it you would rarely go again.

Awesome place! I wouldn't think that I would enjoy it so much and wouldn't think that the time spent there would be too much but: We arrived on Sunday on a rainy day at 4:30 PM and it was perfect, because we stayed there 1h 30 min. And the place closed at 6PM. We did not buy the tickets in advance and we did not need to (maybe due to the rainy day?) But the experience was awesome, very interactive, very fun, you get to see a lot of the well known buildings around the Europe and hear the hymns of every country present there. This place is perfect for all ages! Would totally recommend :)

This place has a totally crazy vibe. So many beers on the menu that you cannot keep track! And all of them equally delicious. The entire outside lane has multiple cafes. Open late until night. Must visit if you plan to spend a night in Brussels. Very close to the Grand Place.

It was an amazing experience! To many beer flavors! The staff were amazing and super fast! The place was crowded we sit outside! Everything went smoothly and great!

It was an atmospheric and interesting experience. The beer selection was really impressive. And the beer was interestingly tasty and good. Of course, we didn't see so many varieties and types of beer for sale and we doubt that so many are still available. But overall, the place is a must-see. Recommended.

This was a fun experience — we really enjoyed trying the variety of beers Delirium had to offer. We definitely liked it and recommend adding it to your plans. It didn’t feel like too much for two people, but it’s probably a bit much for just one person 😂

Delirium Beer Café in Brussels is a must-visit for any beer lover! The atmosphere is vibrant, lively, and full of character, making it an unforgettable spot to relax and explore the world of beer. What makes this place truly special is its mind-blowing selection—over 2,000 varieties from around the globe. It's impossible not to be impressed by the sheer variety on offer. While it’s not feasible to see or try all the beers available, the menu alone is enough to make any enthusiast curious. We opted for the Beer Meter, a fun and engaging way to taste a flight of 10 different beers served in small glasses. It was a great way to explore different flavours and styles without getting overwhelmed. Each beer had its own unique taste, and the staff was helpful in recommending options based on our preferences. The interior, with its beer memorabilia and cozy yet bustling ambiance, adds to the charm of the place. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a true connoisseur, Delirium Beer Café offers an experience that’s both enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brussels. Come thirsty, and leave with a new appreciation for beer!

Very nice area with good beer and ambience - wide range of options with all types of beer - prices are ok, in 2025 around 8€ for a pinte in average - ambient is incredible. Very good vibes and just electrifying - toilets available

Love the huge selection of beer; make sure to scan the QR code in the menu to see all of them. Could use some food options apart from the 3 they currently offer, but they are tasty. Prices are ok, beers are no joke and the music is great. Worth a visit if you’re looking to try Trappist beers a well

This small statue in Brussels shows a little girl peeing—just like the famous Manneken Pis, but it's the girl version. It’s hidden in a quiet alley near Delirium Café, so you have to look carefully to find it. People like to take photos, and sometimes she wears costumes for special events. It’s a funny and quick stop while walking around the city. Not very big, but it’s part of Brussels’ playful style

Delirium Village is a great place to hang out, grab a bit to eat, a beer or 10 and see Jeanneke Pis.

The Jeanneke Pis is a quirky, modern female counterpart to the famous Manneken Pis! Tucked away but worth finding, this smiling little girl, protected behind bars, adds a dose of cheeky humor and diversity to Brussels' city center. A fun, lighthearted photo stop.

Cute statue for sex equality. Located in the street where Delirium brew house located.

A quirky little stop while exploring Brussels! Hidden in a small alley, this statue is considered the “sister” of the famous Manneken Pis. Not a must-see on its own, but fun if you’re nearby. Worth a quick look and a photo — plus it always gets a few laughs.

Located at the end of a narrow street which could be easily missed if you do not pay attention. It was a shame that there was a gate blocking the view..

Very cool little ally, the statue itself is a fantastic symbol for gender equality. It is quite busy there also because the ally isn't too wide. Definitely recommend looking if you're near!

Walking through Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert felt like stepping into a timeless world where elegance and history meet. The soft glow of the lights bouncing off the ornate walls and the glass-vaulted ceiling created a warm, almost magical atmosphere. Despite the bustling crowd around me, I felt a quiet sense of wonder, pausing to admire the intricate details of the architecture and the charm of the shops lining the gallery. It was one of those moments where time seems to slow down — a moment to reflect, to feel gratitude for small joys, and to simply be present amidst the beauty of the surroundings. Standing there, I realized that places like this are more than just landmarks; they are spaces that quietly hold memories, stories, and a sense of connection to the world around us.

These galleries offer a truly stunning selection of artworks! 🖼✨ Every art lover can find something here, from classics to contemporary pieces. I was genuinely inspired and impressed by what I saw - each work evokes emotions and makes you want to admire it again and again. The atmosphere is filled with creativity and inspiration, and you can clearly feel the curators’ excellent taste and high level of organization. It’s a place where you can easily spend hours discovering new meanings and artistic treasures. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates art and seeks inspiration. Thx.

This place is so much more than a shopping arcade—it's a piece of history. The architecture is simply stunning, with the high glass roof flooding the hall with light. It’s an incredibly elegant and beautiful place for a stroll, regardless of the weather outside. The gallery is lined with a wonderful selection of high-end shops, especially famous Belgian chocolatiers, and charming cafes. Stopping for a coffee or a meal here feels like stepping back in time. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, you have to visit just to experience the magnificent atmosphere.

The Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert in Brussels is a beautiful spot to stroll through, and it’s also home to some wonderful chocolate shops. We tried chocolates from La Belgique Gourmande here, and they were fantastic—especially the nuts with caramelized and tiramisu flavors, absolutely delicious! We also picked up Liège waffles; they were much better than supermarket ones, though of course not quite the same as freshly made on the street. Still, very tasty and at a good price. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re visiting the galleries.

Best place to get a flavor of Brussels in no time ! With several high end confectionery shops and cafes it’s a delight for visitor. The lace bags gats and other accessories shops there are also very exclusive . Must visit place when in Brussels. Recently they added the decades’ history information too making it more interesting place for history buffs as well as shoppers

Very nice shopping area which you also many dinning options. Of course, in Brussels Belgium, there are no shortage of chocolate shops. There are many specialty stores also, which is somewhat bit pricier!

Old shopping arcade with beautiful architecture. Good place to walking and photo to get the atmosphere of Brussel in the old time. They have restaurants, cafe and lots of chocolate store.

I came to this restaurant based on reviews, and the staff were friendly from the moment I arrived. I chose to sit outside. The restaurant has two floors and is very spacious. I went during the day, so it wasn’t crowded. I ordered several dishes since there were three of us—fresh oysters and mussels in white wine, which were delicious and perfectly balanced, not too salty. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Brussels!

A lovely place with a really special atmosphere. Everything felt welcoming and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the evening. The food was truly delicious – the mussels in particular were outstanding, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. There’s also a thoughtful selection of wines that pairs beautifully with the dishes. It’s the kind of spot where you feel like staying longer than planned. Definitely a place I’d be happy to return to.

Right in the heart of Brussels, Chez Léon drew us in with its warm, welcoming atmosphere. That evening, it wasn’t just a restaurant — it was a true experience. Cozy, lively, and filled with character, the place radiates an authentic Brussels charm that immediately makes you feel at home. We chose the “Moules gratinées à l’ail” – mussels baked with garlic, herbs, and melted cheese – and it was an explosion of flavor. The freshness of the mussels, the aromatic depth of the butter, and the perfectly caramelized cheese created a dish that was both rustic and refined. The harmony between the bold garlic, delicate herbs, and the natural saltiness of the sea was simply masterful. What impressed me most was the precision and respect in how the seafood was handled — tender in texture, perfectly balanced in flavor, and full of character. I had never experienced mussels prepared this way before; it was truly eye-opening and unforgettable. Paired with golden crispy fries and an ice-cold Belgian beer, it became one of those memorable meals that stay with you — not just for the taste, but for the shared joy around the table. Chez Léon is more than a place to eat; it’s where you taste the culture of Brussels itself. A must-visit for every true food lover.

Famous seafood restaurant in Brussel. Their mussels fish are excellent as it is. Taste so good from their well cooked and freshness I can feel from every bite. The potato fries are not quite impression, not the good one. Salad are good. Pasta are too creamy for me. Staffs are friendly and helpful with the menu. Seating area are large and they have more seat upstairs so it’s big enough to host large group. Restroom are upstairs. Credit card accepted. Enjoy!

Absolutely the best mussels ever! They offer all kinds, and every dish is simply delicious — everything here is perfect. They even have their own beer, La Léon, which pairs wonderfully with the food. For dessert, I highly recommend trying the Wafel Léon — it’s the perfect sweet ending to your meal. If you’re visiting Brussels, you should definitely stop by this place. It’s a must-try! Greetings from Croatia! 🇭🇷

We had a lovely evening at Chez Léon with my family. We first walked past the restaurant and were immediately drawn in by how delicious the food looked, so we decided to come back one evening for dinner. On the night, we ordered Filet Américain prepared at the table, Garlic Butter, Assiette Léon, and Spaghetti Bolognese. The food quality was excellent, and everything was full of flavour. I would also like to give special appreciation to Alan, who was so friendly and entertaining—he made our two children laugh and enjoy themselves throughout the meal. Overall, we had a truly wonderful evening and would highly recommend Chez Léon!

Went there with colleagues and enjoyed our first meal in Brussels! The baked mussels with cheese were to die for! Amazing staff as well for accommodating our big group of 12.

We got a pizza, lasagne and chicken tagliatelle. Wonderful workers. Halal food. Reasonable price. Nice salaam cola and ice tea. I would recommend this place.

Good pizzas. Very similar to what I ate in India

Ok spaghetti bolognese, at least our kid liked it. Small pizza's available, but small spaghetti was not available. Quite unfinished and unmaintained look in the restaurant, but the on the other hand, this is not meant to be high end restaurant. Didn't understand English that well, but we were able to have the order easily enough.

Forget about pizza hut and domino, Pizza Royal has Amazing super good, deliciously pizzas!! It's unfortunate that they only open after 16:00...

Nice pizzas, lots of cheese :). Seating area not the coziest so perhaps takeaway is to recommend....

Best pizza in the city! Fast service and good people

One of my friends recommended this place and it is indeed very good.
