About this school trip
The Atomium is the international symbol of Brussels and Belgium. It was built as the centrepiece of the Expo 58 world's fair and was never meant to stay. Between 2004 and 2006 it was thoroughly renovated, and today it is the most visited tourist attraction in Brussels.
More than half of the visit is devoted to exhibitions, including a permanent 3D presentation of Expo 58, and from the panorama pupils enjoy an impressive view. That makes the Atomium a strong destination for lessons on architecture, the history of science and the post-war period. For schools there is an educational folder, AtomiumPlay and a guided tour for children, among other things.
We are happy to take care of transport to Brussels for you and your pupils. Our experienced driver takes your group comfortably and safely by coach to the Atomium and picks you up again, combined with another destination in the city if you wish.
