The Pentagon
The inner ring road traces a five-sided outline around the old centre. It is the clearest shape on any Brussels print and anchors the whole composition.

The map
About this Brussels map poster
The centre of Brussels is enclosed by a ring of wide boulevards laid out along the line of its fourteenth-century walls. Because the walls formed an irregular five-sided shape, locals simply call the historic core the Pentagon. Inside it, medieval streets converge on the Grand-Place, a UNESCO World Heritage square framed by guildhalls and the Town Hall.
The River Senne, which once ran through the centre, was covered over in the nineteenth century. On today's map, water appears mainly as the canal along the western edge of the Pentagon, part of the route between Charleroi and Antwerp. To the east, the European Quarter adds large institutional blocks and Leopold Park, and the Sonian Forest spreads beyond the southern suburbs.
Further north, near Heysel, the Atomium built for the 1958 World's Fair stands in a park beside the exhibition grounds. A Brussels map poster puts all of this in one frame: the unmistakable pentagon at the centre, the canal, the avenues radiating outward and the green spaces around the city.

Brussels canal
The canal runs along the western side of the centre from south-west to north, a single straight line of water on an otherwise landlocked map.
Sonian Forest
A large beech forest reaches into the south-eastern edge of the region. It appears as a broad expanse of open space crossed by a few long roads.
