The Mission of Norway to the EU is temporarily situated in Rond Point Schuman 6, right next to the headquarter of the European Commission- Berlaymont - and the Council building, also known as Justus Lipsus.
We are moving back to our old premises, Rue d'Achimède no. 17, in late autumn this year, 2008.

Train
Brussels has four train stations. The two most frequently used are Gare Central and Gare du Midi. Gare Central is mainly for domestic trains. Gare du Midi is the main station for international trains (Eurostar, Thalys).
To get to the Mission, either take the metro (see above) or a taxi.
Should you decide to drive, note that the traffic in and around Brussels is heavy and the roads are not always clearly marked. Signs in direction of the rondpoint Schuman will indicate "Institutions européennes".

By train, Brussels Airport is less than twenty minutes from the city centre (40 minutes from the Mission). From 06:00 until nearly midnight, the Airport City Express links the airport with Brussels South, Central and North four times an hour. A one-way ticket costs 4.30 € first class and 2.80 € second class. The train station is located on the basement (level 1) of the terminal building.
