Rue de la Cigogne connects the Pentagon area to the Quays Quarter, mixing new buildings with older structures along its path. The street is designed for walking, with space to move comfortably through the area.
The street developed as part of Brussels' urban expansion in the 1800s and became linked to the city's main layout. It has remained a connector between different neighborhoods since that time.
The street runs near schools and creative spaces where students and artists move through daily. You can observe how people use the area to connect different parts of their work and study life.
Buses and trams run nearby, and bicycles are available to rent for exploring the area. The street itself is flat and easy to walk, without major obstacles in the way.
The name means 'Stork Street' in both French and Dutch, reflecting Brussels' two languages in street naming. This dual naming is typical throughout the city and shows how both communities shaped it.
