The Grand-Place is the main tourist attraction of Brussels. All through the year it is visited by thousands who like to spend some time wandering around and admiring the beautiful buildings, or sitting down on one of the many terraces having a good Belgian beer. Concerts and musical happenings are organized all through the year on the square.
		Made of steel construction, the Atomium represents the concept of an iron crystal atom. The Atomium played its role perfectly for the exhibition of 1958's World's Fair, so well, in fact, that the City of Brussels asked for it not to be dismantled afterwards. Since then, it has welcomed thousands of visitors and still keeps all of its significance. It does not represent, as some tend to think, the liberation of nuclear energy, but the marvellous organization of molecular structures on an infinitesimal scale, and the importance of past, present and future discoveries in this fascinating field.
