Why locals love it

It's one of the most known monuments in Brussels. Although it's not worth paying to get inside it (because it is really expensive), it's worth seeing the thing as it is quite impressive! It is like a giant atom built in steel, slightly outside Brussels!

Why you should visit it

It is a beautiful piece of art that is known worldwide! Did you know they renewed it and even sold steel parts to privates who bought them for >10.000€ per steel plate? Incredible yet funny to know!

Special tip

Take your camera!
