Belgium as a Strava art canvas

In Brussels, the historic centre is the area inside the Small Ring (R20), a chain of boulevards built where the city's 14th-century walls once stood. Its outline gives the centre its nickname, the Pentagon.

That ring is a ready-made outline. Our butterfly starts inside the Pentagon and runs along several of the ring's boulevards; the umbrella starts outside it, in Saint-Gilles.

Antwerp is known for its diamond trade, which is centred on its diamond district; we gave it a diamond ring, about 3.2 km wide and 3.7 km tall.

Ghent grew up where the Leie flows into the Scheldt, and in 2017 the car-free zone of its historic centre was more than doubled.
