By plane

Our Nation Airport is located near Brussels at Zaventem and very close to the Surf House, check http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/

Note that when you book your airplane tickets you head for Brussels National Airport (Zaventem) and not for Brussels North, which is in Antwerp, or for Brussels South ,which is in Chaleroi.

Airplane tickets are at an all time low. Check http://www.checkfelix.com or http://www.expedia.com to find the cheapest flight.

From the airport you can take a taxi, bus or train to the center of Brussels or straight to the venue in Evere.

Taxi: They are lined up just outside of the arrival hall of the airport but be careful they're quite costly (~20€ to go to center, up to 40€ if night) and not the best option if you arrive during peak hours.

Bus: The bus station is located on level 0 (1 level lower than the arrival hall), take bus number 471 on platform A. It goes straight to the center of Brussels.

Train: The train station is located on level -1 (2 levels lower than the arrival hall). Probably the best option if you want to go to the center.
