How to reach the JPI Oceans secretariat

fa-plane fas

The fastest option is a train to Bruxelles-Central or Bruxelles-Luxemburg (18 minutes). Trains with destination to Dinant or Charleroi Sud both pass by the Brussels-Luxemburg station. Both stations are located within about 5-10 minute walking distance from the JPI Oceans secretariat. 

The second option is to take a bus. The bus station is located on level 0, one floor down from the arrivals hall. From Monday to Friday 8 pm the Airport Line is operated as an express service with number 12 and only serves the major stops. On weekdays after 8 pm and the whole day on Saturday, Sunday and holidays, the Airport Line is operating as a regular service with number 21, serving all stops. The route takes approximately 40 minutes. The stop Luxembourg/Luxemburg (outside the European Parliament) is the end of the line. 

fa-subway fas

Both Gare Bruxelles-Central and Gare Bruxelles-Luxembourg (Station Brussel-Luxemburg), the train station underneath the European Parliament, is in walking distance (5-10 minutes) from the secretariat.
