Sketching the city: St Catherine neighborhood map

We continue with our creative maps series! So far we published the map of Flagey, and now it’s time for St Catherine’s area! Our contributor Zsofi draws maps of different neighborhoods of Brussels and shares what’s hot in each of the selected areas. St Catherine neighborhood is centrally located, equally popular with locals and tourists. Rue Dansaert offers great shopping opportunities, especially for those who are more into independent brands and younger designers. Fish Market area is known for great restaurants and is especially popular during summer months when Brusseleirs and tourists stroll around cafe bars and fountains near St Catherine’s church.

What do you think about this area? What are your favorite places? Feel free to leave us a comment on our Facebook or Instagram page! 🙂

Also, if you have ideas for new maps and illustrations, you can get in touch with us or Zsofi directly. In case you missed it, check our updated map with best coffee spots in Brussels.
