One of Brussels main symbols - the more than 100m high structure in the shape of the iron atom was build for the 1958 World Expo in Brussels and supposed to last a year. It is still standing and is the equivalent of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Restaurant with great views on the top floor. Book well in advance.
