Brussels Belgium Maps

The roughly pentagonal shape of central Brussels follows the course of former defensive walls, giving old maps a useful point of reference. Comparing earlier plans with today’s streets can reveal how boulevards replaced fortifications while preserving an outline that still helps make the city recognizable.

Brussels grew along the Senne River, but much of that waterway disappeared beneath the city center during nineteenth-century modernization. Covering the river addressed severe sanitation problems and made room for broad new boulevards through densely built neighborhoods. This transformation helps explain why an older plan of Brussels can describe a very different city from the streets familiar today: a river once central to commerce and daily life became largely invisible above ground.

The former fortifications left another lasting imprint. As Brussels expanded, its outer defensive walls were dismantled and replaced by boulevards, preserving the roughly pentagonal outline still associated with the historic center. Maps made for different purposes recorded these changes differently. Detailed street plans could distinguish narrow lanes, squares, and individual blocks, while broader plans placed the old center within an expanding network of suburbs, canals, and railways.

Comparing maps across periods can help separate the medieval street pattern from later interventions. Look for routes that follow the former walls, streets interrupted by new thoroughfares, and the changing visibility of the Senne. French and Dutch place names offer another useful comparison, though a change in the language printed on a map does not necessarily mean the place itself was renamed.

How to Choose the Right Map

Start with the place or subject that matters, then choose the artwork, format, and size that best fit your space and story.

Choose a hometown, favorite destination, family location, military base, park, lake, railroad, or other place that carries a personal connection.

Try searching by a city, county, state, landmark, year, or specific place name.

Look closely at the map year, geographic coverage, orientation, labels, landmarks, and overall visual style. Different maps of the same place can tell very different stories.

Use the product images and zoom tools to inspect streets, names, boundaries, and historic features.

Select an unframed print for flexibility, a ready-to-hang solid wood frame for a finished presentation, or a wrapped canvas for a clean gallery-style appearance.

Framed prints include protective plexiglass and arrive ready to hang.

Consider the wall, furniture, viewing distance, and amount of visual impact you want. Larger maps make striking focal points, while smaller sizes work well in offices, studies, entryways, and grouped displays.

Measure the available wall area before choosing your final print size.

Every map is available in several display options

Choose from museum-quality unframed prints, framed prints with solid wood frames, or 1.5-inch wrapped canvas.

Belgium Maps

Belgium, otherwise known as the Kingdom of Belgium, is located in Northwestern Europe. Holding a population of over 11 million, Belgium is the 22nd most densely populated country in the world, and the 6th in Europe. The most populated city is Brussels, which is also the capital of Belgium. Other major cities within Belgium are Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège, Bruges, Namur, and Leauven. Belgium was established in 1830, following the Belgian Revolution. Currently, Belgium is a constitutional popular monarchy as well as a parliamentary democracy. As of now, the King of Belgium is Philippe, who has served since 2013. The current prime minister is Alexander de Croo, serving since 2020. Belgium is a well developed country, with the total fertility rate being 1.64 children per woman. Along with this, the annual population growth is very low, with birth rates and immigration only slightly exceeding death rates and emigration. It is estimated that the literacy rate amongst adults is 99%. Belgium has a relatively older population, with an average age of around 41.6 years old. Along with this, the average life expectancy within Belgium is around 79.2 years old for men, to 83.7 years old for women. The climate within Belgium is known as maritime temperate, meaning that mild summers occur as well as cool winters. There is a significant amount of precipitation in all seasons during Belgium, which is very common for countries within Northwestern Europe. The average high temperature is around 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average low is 37.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Some of the most common animals found throughout Belgium are wild boars, wildcats, deer, and pheasant. There is also a great number of birds that can be found within the Belgian region. Throughout the years, the animal population within Belgium has been greatly reduced due to human actions. Belgium is made up of three regions: the Flemish region, the Walloon region, and the Brussels Capital region. The Flemish and Walloon region are the only regions within Belgium that are divided up into provinces. The provinces located within the Flemish region are Antwerp, East Flanders, Flemish Brabant, Limburg, and West Flanders. The five provinces within the Walloon region are Hainaut, Liège, Luxembourg, Namur, and Walloon Brabant. The most populated province is Antwerp, and the least populated province is Luxembourg. Belgium holds a very rich history within the fine arts. Many art movements within history have been started in Belgium, such as the Mosan art, the Flemish renaissance, and Baroque painting. Along with this, many architectural trends can be traced back to the Belgian region, such as Gothic, Renaissance, Romanesque, and Baroque architecture. Belgium is also home to numerous different styles of literary works. One of the most respected styles of literary works is actually the comic strip. Did you know that The Smurfs franchise originates from Belgium? Pierre Culliford, also known by his pseudonym Peyo, is the creator, and was born in Schaerbeek, Belgium. Another comic series that owes its start from Belgium is the Adventures of Tintin.
