Place Charles Rogier - Karel Rogierplein

The Place Charles Rogier (French, pronounced [plas ʃaʁl ʁɔ.ʒje]) or Karel Rogierplein (Dutch, pronounced [ˈkaːrəl roːˈɣirˌplɛin]), usually shortened to the Place Rogier, or Rogier by locals, is a major square in the Saint-Josse-ten-Noode municipality of Brussels, Belgium. It is named in honour of Ch

arles Rogier, a former Prime Minister of Belgium who played an important political role during the Belgian Revolution of 1830. The square is located on the transition between Brussels' historic city centre (the Pentagon) and the Northern Quarter business district (also called Little Manhattan), an exponent of modern Brussels. It is an important communication node in the city both in terms of road network and public transport. Many hotels, offices and shops adjoin it. The Rue Neuve/Nieuwstraat, Belgium's second busiest shopping street, also ends there. It is served by the metro and premetro (underground tram) station Rogier on lines 2, 4, 6 and 10.
