The map of Brussels
A 50,8° di latitudine nord, Bruxelles dispiega una pianta urbana stratificata, dove i vicoli medievali della città bassa contrastano con i grandi assi della città alta. Il Pentagono — il centro storico delimitato dal piccolo anello stradale — racchiude la Grand-Place e il Manneken-Pis, mentre i quartieri Art Nouveau si estendono verso sud-est.
