Brussels Capital Region

Extracts data of Brussels Capital Region from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for the Brussels Capital Region provides essential spatial resources for professional mapping, navigation applications, and urban planning analysis. This dataset covers administrative boundaries, transport networks, and points of interest within the city. The site offers a free daily updated .pbf extract for direct import into osm2pgsql or QGIS, or a paid QGIS 3 project containing pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers with a comprehensive icon set. As the federal capital of Belgium and the administrative center of the European Union, the region is defined by its unique status as a bilingual (Dutch/French) territory and its central role in international diplomacy.
