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
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Good experience, the booking was so easy, the tickets were sent to us a day before the tour, no problems at all. We liked the atomium!

Essentially, 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.

The 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 !
