The Viator booking confirmation voucher that you get immediately upon booking is not the actual ticket and will not be accepted by the Atomium Staff, please check your email and WhatsApp for the actual pdf ticket
Apart from the upper sphere, which is accessible by lift, the rest of the Atomium is not easy to access for people with restricted mobility, and unfortunately it is not suitable for wheelchairs
There are 80 steps to walk up and 167 steps to walk down, and it is impossible to avoid this
You are advised to visit when the attraction opens and to avoid peak time (between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM) when there is a large influx of visitors
After 3:30 PM the flow of visitors tends to reduce
During the holiday periods, the attraction can be very crowded which can cause longer waiting times

5.00It is necessary to book tickets ahead - with viator it is not a problem. Despite waiting lines it did not take long to go up. The building itself is the attraction especially for photographers.

3.00Do not book with Viator. I booked this on the way to the event. After booking all I got was a voucher to present at the provider. Thought it was unusual that I did not receive tickets in my app. After arriving and having lunch I waited in line to present the voucher. It was not accepted. I purchased my own tickets. Which was what I was trying to avoid due to the long lines. I requested a refund. There was a 24 hour cancellation refund window. Viator chose that the money was more important to them then my future business and this review.

4.00Essentially, a self guided museum tour with lots of reading. If that's your thing, this is for you. If you want to see something that is the icon of the city, this is the place. It is a little out of the way from central Brussels, but pretty easy to get to on the Metro. The structure is a replica of an iron crystal built in 1958 for the World's Fair. Reconstruction started in early 2000s. Some pretty cool side exhibits (meditation laser show), and rich history. We opted to NOT stand in live ofr 2 hours to take the elevator to the top. Recommend you go to the Basilica and do that for 8 euro (much better view, plus you get to see the Basilica.
Book with the venue directly …

1.00The Atomium itself is great - but be careful when booking as not all tickets will be valid - the one I bought on here wasn’t a legit ticket ans I had to repurchase at the venue and now they won’t refund me !
