Brussels in a series of street plans from Rough Guides published on very light waterproof and tear-resistant plastic paper, indexed, with recommendations for shops, restaurants, cafes and cars, and venues. The plan is folded to only 9x19cm when detached from its protective cover, and can be easily rolled or folded into smaller size without any damage or creases.

On one side is a plan of central districts of the city at 1:9,700, including the Eurostar and Thalys terminal at Gare du Midi, the European Quarter with the EU institutions, and Parc du Cinquantenaire. The plan is extended further south on the reverse side to include the Ixelles West district.

The city centre is shown in greater detail enlarged to 1:5,700. Also provided is a plan of the Laeken and Haysel area with the Atomium. All the plans show tram routes with line numbers and stops, metro stations, taxi ranks, car parks and one way streets. Streets are also annotated with numbers of bus routes. Famous buildings, cultural institutions, etc. are highlighted and named. The plans are also annotated with colour-coded markers indicating publishers’ recommendations for shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, and venues.

The map is indexed, including a separate index of sights and notable buildings, and has a time chart clearly showing opening times of main institutions, an explanation of public transport system, and hotel recommendations.

Also provided is a road map of outer Brussels showing metro and rail connections to the suburbs and access to the city’s international airport.
