The World Trade Center of Brussels, Belgium is a complex of skyscrapers at the corner of Albert II Boulevard and Simon Bolivar Boulevard in the Northern Quarter central business district of Brussels.

Of the remaining four, two were built in the 1970s, one was built across the street in the 1980s, and the fourth was never built.In response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, hundreds of Belgians formed a hand-in-hand human chain around the Trade Center in tribute.

The Kaaitheater, is a theatre located in Brussels, Belgium, housing a theatre and cultural institutions. It occupies a block between the Quai des Péniches/Akenkaai and Quai de Willebroeck/Willebroekkaai, with its main entrance on the Square Sainctelette/Sainctelettesquare. The theatre is located next to and connected with the former Citroën Garage, forming part of the continuous urban block. The complex includes two buildings, one with apartments and a café and the other a theatre hall. It was designed by architect Marcel Driesmans and constructed between 1929 and 1931 in a modernist and Art Deco style.

The Small Ring (French: Petite Ceinture, Dutch: Kleine Ring) inner ring road, formally R20 and N0 is a series of roadways in central Brussels, Belgium, surrounding the historic city centre. The city centre is usually defined as the area within the Small Ring; this area is called the Pentagon due to its pentagonal shape. The pentagon forms the core of the City of Brussels municipality. The road was built on the site of the 14th-century second walls of Brussels, after they had been torn down. During the second stage of the covering of the Senne in the 20th century, the river was diverted to underneath the western boulevards of the ring. This freed up the main tunnels that had contained the water to allow construction of the Brussels premetro with minimal disruption of the surface. The Small Ring is about 8 km long. It is surrounded by the Greater Ring, which runs about 30 km and by the Ring (about 80 km). The road passes through tunnels allowing vehicles to avoid traffic lights that regulate the circulation at surface level. Thus, it is possible to travel from the Brussels-South railway station to the Place Sainctelette/Saincteletteplein (via Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet), and even further to the Basilica, or the reverse route, through tunnels without having to stop at traffic lights. The section of the Small Ring between the Place Sainctelette and the south station via the Anderlecht gate is completely at surface-level and is subsequently slower to travel along.
