Rue de la Loi (French) or Wetstraat (Dutch) is a principal road running through central and eastern Brussels (Belgium) which is famous due to the presence of several notable governmental buildings (of Belgium and the European Union). The road, whose name translates into English as ''Law Street'', runs from Rue Royale/Koningsstraat ( ), almost in the centre of Brussels, to Schuman roundabout (), in its European quarter. It forms the first (westerly) part of the N3 motorway that runs to Aachen, Germany. The term ''Rue de la Loi'' or ''Wetstraat'' is often used in the Belgian media as a metonym for government because not only the Belgian Federal Parliament is at the beginning of this street, but also the office of the prime minister at number 16. At the far end is the Berlaymont building on the Schuman roundabout and Cinquantenaire beyond that. Shortly before the roundabout, the central part of the road sinks underground into the subterranean Belliard Tunnel (the continuation of the N3 motorway) that runs under the roundabout and Cinquantenaire. ==Buildings== The street starts, flowing off from Rue des Colonies/Koloniënstraat, intersecting with Rue Royale/Koningsstraat. Immediately to the south is Parc metro station and Brussels Park. To the north is the Belgian Parliament building on the Palais de la Nation/Natieplein. The ''Théâtre Royal du Parc'' is also situated here. * 10 Office of the president of the Belgian federal chamber of representatives * 16 (north): Official residence of the Prime Minister of Belgium * ~ Avenue des Arts/Kunstlaan (Small ring) and Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet metro station (lines 1, 2, 5 and 6) * 41 (south): European Commission * 56 (north): European Commission * Rue de Spa/Spastraat, 2 (north): European Commission〔Buildings situated on corner of Rue de la Loi and Rue de Spa, registered on Rue de Spa so there is no fixed number for Rue de la Loi.
