PANORAMA

Upper sphere


The main panorama in the Atomium - reputed to be the most magnificent view in Brussels - is situated in the upper sphere of the building (part 1 of the visit).

In good weather, you can even see Antwerp. 

  • Altitude: 92m
  • Access: lift
  • View: 360°
  • Panels to identify the various monuments in the city of Brussels
  • Panels stating the distances between Brussels and other major world cities
  • Panels with views of Expo 58 as it extended around the Atomium, over 60 years ago (first part of the permanent exhibition)
  • The panorama is part of the spaces available to rent: find out more!


As an anecdote, not a week goes by without a young couple in love visiting the panorama to pop the question. All our best wishes go with them!
