Brussels: Atomium Entry Ticket with Design Museum Ticket - Timing matters at the Atomium: beat 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM

1.Brussels: Atomium Entry Ticket with Design Museum Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 9,254 reviews · from $19Our pick

Timed Atomium entry plus Design Museum ticket, with 360 views, light shows, and Belgium design stops. Great value for a 1-day visit.

“The ticket we got included the design museum we enjoyed it, especially the exhibitions of 'Plastic' and the skateboard designs. The Atomium wows from the outside, it's an amazing construction! Inside you can either take the lift (be prepared to queue) to the viewing platform and restaurant, or start with the escalators and stairs to the lower levels. If you do the lower levels first (information about the design/construction and light shows) then you will have to go back down to get the lift for the viewing and restaurant.Read more”

Antwerp and Ghent Day Trip from Brussels With Atomium Photo Stop - Coach Start From Brussels, Plus Realistic Timing

4.Antwerp and Ghent Day Trip from Brussels With Atomium Photo Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 210 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $56

A smooth coach day trip from Brussels to Antwerp and Ghent, with guided walks, Atomium photos, and free time in both cities.

“We had an excellent guide, Julianna. Both cities were really interesting but there was too little free time. 90 minutes free time isn’t even enough to go get dinner and be sure you have time to walk back to the meeting point. Would ideally have done these two cities in separate trips but there was no tour that did this.”

Brussels: Art Nouveau Pass - Entry to Three Locations - The 3-stop strategy: mix houses, museums, and one exhibition

6.Brussels: Art Nouveau Pass – Entry to Three Locations

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 108 reviews · 9 months · from $29

Art Nouveau Pass Brussels gives free entry to 3 Art Nouveau or Art Deco sites plus discounts, valid 9 months, from 29 USD.

“We purchased the pass thinking that it would enable easy access to museums etc while we were in Brussels. While it did allow us to gain easy access to one of the houses we were hoping to see, the other 2 that we booked could have been easily purchased on the day with no worries and in fact one was free on the day we attended. If you are only in Brussels for a short time I don’t think I would recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 64 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $51

Brussels day trip to Atomium and medieval Ghent with an English guide, included transfers, and 4 hours to explore.

“In 50 years of touring this was the worst experience I have ever had. I booked this 2 months in advance paid a few days in advance per their request. The day of departure I received an email cancelling the tour. We were offered another tour which I accepted but was denied. We were again offered another tour and date which I accepted. I did not receive a confirmation so upon arrival to our hotel in Brussels I called the local tour company. There phones were not working. I called the Viator Europe office and got a confirmation for the tour. We were added on to a mostly Spanish tour.…”
