What is in this plan
Day 1 — Brussels Center and the Heysel Attractions
Start with the central sights on foot, then set aside the later part of the day for the Atomium and Mini-Europe. The creator reports paying €16 for the Atomium and €23 for Mini-Europe; treat these as the prices observed during the visit and check current admission details before going. The creator found the Atomium's interior less worthwhile than its exterior and Mini-Europe only moderately appealing, especially if miniature displays are not your preference.

-
Mini-EuropeMini-Europe, Brussels, Belgium
This park beside the Atomium contains miniature versions of European landmarks. The creator paid €23, considered the visit average overall, and suggested it may suit visitors who enjoy miniatures. Bring water: they found small bottles expensive there.
