Pool,

and Brussels Evere. Entrance to the NATO HQ Staff
Center is via the slip road Avenue D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan
parallel to the Boulevard Leopold III.
How
to get to us ...
By Car
1. Regardless of direction, take Exit 4 on the Brussels
Ring road.
2. At Exit 4, take the A 201 direction Brussels and Evere;
heading west.
3. Travel down the A 201 for about one or two kilometres
until you reach the first set of trafic lights.
4. At the lights, turn left as if you were trying to enter
NATO HQs Main Gate (you will notice the flags flying).
5. Having crossed the opposite lanes of the A 201, you need
to make an immediate keft turn onto a slip road (Avenue
D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan), parallel to the A 201. You will
immediately reach another set of traffic lights. At this
point, you will be about 10 meters + form the NATO HQ Main
Gate and heading east on Avenue
D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan.
6. Continue straight on the slip road for about 400 meters
or so until you reach the next entrance into the NATO area
with a small guardhouse on your right. This is the
entrance you can use. The big building immediately
in front is the NATO Staff Centre, where the pool is located.
Once
past the Security Check Point, you can use either the left
or right parking lot.

By
Bus
A
bus will probably not be able to make it the hard right
turn required to get into the NATO HQ Staff Center entrance
as described above.
There are two ways to overcome that problem.
If using the route described, the bus should not proceed
to the NATO HQ Staff Center Gate but stop at the NATO HQ
Main Gate to offload the passengers there, who would have
to take a short walk over to the Staff Center from there.
An
alternative route would be
NATO
HQ Back way-
used for buses, if they need to park on the facility.
Directions
to NATO.
Take the E19
to
Brussels, and exit at the RING (RO
on the map) in the direction of ZAVENTEM (Brussels
National Airport). Exit at Zaventem Centrum
and turn left at the lights. You will be passing
back over the RING on Hector Henneaulaan.
Follow this road down to a Round-About. Go 3/4
around so that you are making a left turn. The street
shows on the map as Hermeslaan, but
I believe the street sign shows it as Ave
Bourget.
Follow
Hermeslaan/ Ave Bourget
all the way to the end. When you cannot go any
further (it turns into a ONE WAY in the other direction)
you will see a gate with a guard at it.
This
is the entrance to the NATO Staff Center. The
pool is the building directly in front of you when
you pass the guards.
