Uk -Europe -Dubai Trip - Part 11

Brussels - Belgium


You can see two great sights here -The Automium & The Mini Europe Park . The Atomium is a prestigious Munument of Belgium like the Eiffel Tower for France.The Atomium is a monument built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by André Waterkeyn, it is 102-metres (335 ft) tall, with nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell (Atom) of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

Tubes which connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre enclose escalators connecting the spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere provides a panoramic view of Brussels. Each sphere is 18 metres in diameter.


Adjacent to the Atomium is the MINI EUROPE park where all the great places of Europe are made to a Minuature Size. It is an amazing park.














The Bullfighting Mini Arena of Spain - you can see Mini Bulls and men (all Mechanical) fighting and you can hear the crowd cheering.
