FROM THE ATOMIUM TO THE KING BAUDOUIN STADIUM
CULTURE AND ADVENTURES,
for kids and adults, discover
the art of living in Brussels at
any age.
Fancy an incredibly fun, family day of exploring?
Here’s a good idea: why not hire a bicycle and
pedal towards Heysel/Heizel, the pleasantest
change of scenery in the capital! Journey to the
heart of the atom in the brand new spheres of the
Atomium or explore the infinitely large in the starry
world of the Planetarium. Come back down to
earth and travel across Europe on a scale of 1:25,
where the Ariane rocket launches at your feet and
Vesuvius erupts before your very eyes! From Madrid
to Bratislava, from Paris to Helsinki, the 27 countries
of the European Union show you around their
most beautiful structures. Océade and its water
park tempt you to unwind in the Tropics. Get back
on your bike… Even more exotic and only a few hundred
yards away, the Japanese Tower and the
Chinese Pavilion transport you to Asia. Finally, back
to the Atomium for a fairytale stroll through the
park as far as the gates of the castle, home to the
King.
As the day draws to a close, prolong these happy
hours of escape at Kinepolis for an evening at the
pictures. Here, Brussels enchants, dazzles and
delights adults and kids alike.
ATHLETICS OR FOOTBALL FANS? WELCOME TO THE KING
BAUDOUIN STADIUM! TREAD THE HALLOWED TURF OF
THE NATIONAL TEAM MATCHES, BREAK INTO A SPRINT IN
THE SUPER-FAST FOOTSTEPS OF THE WORLD’S
GREATEST ATHLETES, TAKE A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES
OF SPORT… FOR THE BEST TIME EVER!
