Tootbus · Brussels Central Station
One or two days on the Tootbus routes, including the line out to the Atomium and Mini-Europe, plus a ride on The View, the big wheel at Place Poelaert. Pick it if you want the city overview and one high view without paying for the Atomium.
This is the Tootbus ticket with a wheel ride added. The buses are electric open-top double-deckers on the Central route (6 stops, every 30 to 40 minutes, 10:00 to 17:00) and the Mini Europe & Atomium route (from Central Station, every two hours, last departure 16:00). The View is a 55-metre Ferris wheel on Place Poelaert by the Courthouse, open daily from 11:00 to 22:00 per the listing, and the Poelaert stop on the Central route is right beside it.
Value is the real question. At about $33 this is a few dollars more than the bus alone, and the wheel on its own costs EUR 10 for an adult on Tootbus's site. The ride is short: the listing says about ten minutes, and one guest timed three turns at around five. It is a nice evening add-on after Heysel; it is not a reason to skip the Atomium's top sphere.
Mini-Europe and the Atomium are not included. Reviews average 4.0 from about 125 guests, with the usual hop-on hop-off complaints: hard-to-find stops at the station and waits between buses. The listing marks it as unsuitable for wheelchair users.
Board either route at Central Station, 33 rue Cardinal Mercier.
The Mini Europe & Atomium route, every two hours. Hop off at the Atomium if you've booked the park.
Grand-Place, Luxembourg, Cinquantenaire and Place Royale.
Hop off at Poelaert, by the Courthouse, for The View.
Ride The View for the city at dusk; it stays open until 22:00.
★★★★★Bus was easy navigate. Stops were at the best places. Great was to see Brussels.
★★★★★It's the best way to visit Brussels (way too much construction in the city) it was perfect.
★★★★★I liked being able to see the city's tourist spots comfortably
