A world that contains access to many others, most of which are themselves unaware of the existence of portals/other worlds. Where the Portal Crossroad World is populated and has widespread portal travel, expect the culture to be a strange mishmash of elements from other worlds. Hopefully there's signage or Portal Endpoint Resemblance that let you know which portals go where; otherwise, be very careful where you step. Compare Portal Network, more often found in sci-fi where many worlds are equally interlinked by a portal transport system; contrast Void Between the Worlds, the space through which the portals pass. Also compare Inn Between the Worlds, the single-room/building version which is itself outside reality. See also Extra-Dimensional Shortcut. This is a common form of the video game mechanic, Hub Level. |

Near the end of Bioshock Infinite you will enter one of these and travel around to different Alternate Universes. It appears as a infinite sea with infinite lighthouses equidistant from each other, each representing a distinct universe that in the distance begin to resemble a star filled sky. | |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar has an extra-dimensional space once known as the Allpoints, outside the Eight Mortal Realms, but connected to all of them through the Realmgates. Since it was conquered and corrupted by Chaos, it is now known as the Eightpoints, and at its center is The Varanspire, home base for Archaon the Everchosen, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. | |

The Manticore system in the Honor Harrington series sits near a Negative Space Wedgie dubbed the Manticore Wormhole Junction, a cluster of six (later seven) wormholes connecting points hundreds of light-years apart. The Star Kingdom of Manticore's ownership of the junction has made them incredibly wealthy and also grants massive strategic advantages to their military, since they can get their forces around the galaxy much faster. | |

RWBY: In Volume 8, using whatever dimension the Vaults exist in, Team RWBY gets the idea to use this interdimension to have Ambrosius temporarily turn it into a Portal Crossroad World to evacuate Atlas to Vacuo. However, due to Exact Words, the portals only allow entry and exit one-way. Ambrosius also cautions them not to fall into the void, which then happens to Yang and various people in the following episode. | |

SCP Foundation: Downplayed with Three Portlands, which only connects three locations within the same universe (Portland, Oregon; Portland, Maine and the Isle of Portland in the UK). It is more notable for being an anomalous city-state that operates within the Masquerade and being neutral ground for various anomalous organizations. The Foundation and the GOC both have a presence in Three Portlands, but mostly let them go about their business as long as they keep it under wraps. The Wanderer's Library connects to countless interdimensional pathways called Ways that in turn connect to countless worlds. This along with its nature as a multiversal Great Big Library of Everything makes it the perfect base of operations for the Serpent's Hand. It also has its own wiki for content unrelated to the SCP Foundation's setting. |

The Concordant Domain of the Outlands are said to be the "hub" of the Great Wheel cosmology, and settlements evenly-spaced about from the plane's central spire contain freestanding portals to every one of the Outer Planes. Situated atop that infinitely-tall spire is the planar metropolis of Sigil, the heart of the Planescape setting. Sigil covers the inside of a torus (don't ask natives what's on the "outside") with no access points to the rest of Outland, instead the city is rife with planar gateways to more or less anywhere, assuming the would-be traveler knows how to activate the portal they seek. Sigil is thus known as the "City of Doors," though another epithet for it is "the Cage," as normal plane shifting magic doesn't work in Sigil, requiring one to find a specific portal and that portal's specific key to reach their desired plane. | |

Sakaar from Thor: Ragnarok is a planet surrounded by thousands of portals from across the universe, many of which appear and disappear at random. Blind FTL jumps and other errors during teleportation can lead to you being dumped there. You can use the portals to leave, but that's easier said than done when the planet's ruled by an immortal, questionably sane tyrant who really doesn't want anybody to do so. | |

Dungeons & Dragons The Concordant Domain of the Outlands are said to be the "hub" of the Great Wheel cosmology, and settlements evenly-spaced about from the plane's central spire contain freestanding portals to every one of the Outer Planes. Situated atop that infinitely-tall spire is the planar metropolis of Sigil, the heart of the Planescape setting. Sigil covers the inside of a torus (don't ask natives what's on the "outside") with no access points to the rest of Outland, instead the city is rife with planar gateways to more or less anywhere, assuming the would-be traveler knows how to activate the portal they seek. Sigil is thus known as the "City of Doors," though another epithet for it is "the Cage," as normal plane shifting magic doesn't work in Sigil, requiring one to find a specific portal and that portal's specific key to reach their desired plane. The Infinite Staircase, also detailed in Planescape, is a transitive plane whose base is in the domain of the goddess Selûne in the plane of Ysgard. It consists of a seemingly endless set of branching staircases that rise into a shadowy void, intersecting with landings that in turn support other staircases. These landings can be large enough to house tent cities, such as the headquarters of the Planewalker's Guild, but their main attraction are the Portal Doors to out-of-the-way corners of the Great Wheel, making the Infinite Staircase another way to travel between planes. Though navigating the place can be tricky, as the staircases intersect each other in strange ways, so you might encounter another party of travelers marching along the underside of your current staircase. A traveler might also come across a door that they instinctively know leads to their greatest desire, and those who succumb to the allure and step through the door never return. In the Forgotten Realms, one drow city has a whole bunch of portals to various places on the surface, and so is commonly used by raiding parties from various other cities. |

Treasure Planet itself is a planet-sized portal generator created long ago that was discovered by pirate Captain Nathaniel Flint. Flint used the portals to surprise merchant ships and plunder them ruthlessly, then store the captured booty on the centroid of the portal mechanism. This was how Treasure Planet got its name. | |

In Riddle of the Seven Realms, the titular question is if all fires lead to the demon's realm, where would a fire in the demon's realm lead?

A House of Many Doors is the story of a living pocket dimension that steals from other worlds. The three arc questions are: what is this place you were born in, who originally created / owned it, and how do you get out. There's two ways out, but they're kept triple-locked for a reason; the first is the doorway containing THAT Eden. Eat the fruit, and you will be immortal as long as you stay in the house, but an entire random living world will DIE. The second is a breach point made by the original owner when they were locked out and busted their way back in. The breach point is guarded by one of the higher gods, Scorpidithon, and it will break the house apart if it isn't held together. | |

The Heart Trilogy: The Path of Dreams which Irmo rules over is said to connect Middle-Earth (more than one version as it turns out) and all alternate realities to Valinor via dreams. Kathryn at one point visits an Alternate Universe by touching the Path's gate per Irmo's command, and Fankil believes the Path can be used to find the Door of Night. | |

THE MONUMENT MYTHOS has the home dimension of the Special Trees, the Horned Serpent Metastructure or as it's colloquially known, the "Wonderland," an otherwise empty Eldritch Location outside of reality where the laws of time and space themselves bend and the only signs of life are the victims of the Trees and the Trees themselves. After an unspecified amount of time (described to have felt like thousands of years), the Trees will bend into arches and activate, sending those who are in the vicinity into a parallel universe. | |

Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream applies this trope in more than one way. In plot terms, Napple World lies between life and death; in gameplay terms Napple Town is the Hub Level that connects all of the season-themed worlds which the main character must explore. | |

The Nightside from Simon R. Green's novel series is a hidden urban center full of Timeslips to distant eras or alternate histories, passageways to alien realities and planes of existence, and Bigger on the Inside pocket dimensions. Characters such as the Doormouse or the proprietors of the Mammon Emporium have actually commercialized this trope, using portals for architecture, transportation, and importation of exotic goods. | |

Orion's Arm has Aksijaha, the Root of the Eye. It's a system with literally hundreds of wormholes and anyone who travels far enough through the wormhole network will pass through it. The Eye is an AI god who oversees the system and ensures that no one learns of the Root's location or even existence. | |

The Quilt in Nightmare Ned, where all 5 nightmare worlds are represented by a symbol on one of its patches. It's subverted in that aside from you being able to instantly return to it at will (at the cost of one of your 8 hours), there are also hidden doorways within the nightmares themselves that can be used as shortcuts between each world. | |

In case he enters a world and isn't happy there, Strange places a subconscious trigger in the Hulk's head to send him back to the Crossroads again. | |

Word of God said it's the same place as "The Wood Between the Worlds" of the Narnia series. Grossman said either the city was built over the forest or the city gets demolished and the forest grows over it. | |

Final Space: Inverted with the titular alternate dimension: "All timelines flow into Final Space." What these words mean is that there's only one version of Final Space which transcends all Alternate Timeline versions of the main universe, and all the flotsam and jetsam from these timelines which get transported to Final Space — most prominently the alternate Gary's and alternate Earths whom entered the breach — all end up in the same dimension, as shown in Seasons 2 and 3. | |

In Eclipse Phase the Solar system has at least five Pandora Gates, which for some unknown reason aren't all capable of dialing into the same systems. Most other systems have one, but the creatively-named Portal has six Gates that are not only on the same planet but clustered within a 1-kilometer radius, while Sunrise has seven Gates spaced equally around its' equator. | |

Star Wars Rebels introduces the World Between Worlds near the end of the show, which is basically this. Since it allows not only fast travel via fold space, but also Time Travel, it is very dangerous to use, especially if put in the wrong hands. This is why only select individuals like Ezra, Ahsoka, lothwolves, and Mo rai can access it, while Palpatine, even while using Sith alchemy, can only stick his hand in. From what is currently known, there are portals on Lothal, Malachor, and Coruscant. The "wood between the worlds" from The Chronicles of Narnia are specifically stated to be an influence. | |

The Gateway of the Ancients in AMID EVIL is an overgrown ruin that serves as the game's Hub Level. It has six portals connecting to four other worlds and another ruin on the same world. Of these, two of the portals connect to different parts of a single world. Once the evil force that corrupted those worlds finds the gateway, it forcibly opens a seventh portal to the Void in the Gateway's basement. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew has a universe/dimension referred to only as "The Wood Between the Worlds". It's a forest that stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with pools of ankle-deep water. With the proper magic (such as the rings created by Digory's uncle) these pools become portals to other universes, like our Earth or the land of Narnia. On the one hand the Wood is described as bright, peaceful and serene, but it is also completely silent and devoid of life apart from the trees and the grass. It seems to come with a dangerous, if not sinister side in that it gradually induces drowsiness in anyone inside it, and eventually to sleep - forever. All the pools also look exactly the same, meaning one can easily become hopelessly lost and never be able to find one's home pool again. | |

These rifts are controlled and stable on the upper floors of the city, but will open and close randomly on the lower levels. Earth is also something similar but very few places have any real control of the rifts. Resurfaced Atlantis has control, but that is run by villainous monsters. | |
