Where are We?
The International Coalition for Development Action (ICDA) is based at:

115, Rue Stevin
1000 Brussels
BELGIUM

  • You will most likely arrive in Brussels at Bruxelles-Central, Bruxelles-Midi, or Bruxelles-Nord. Whichever you arrive at, it is best to take the train, with direction: OTTIGNIES-LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE. This is the train you should take, in fact, to stop off at Schuman.

  • From Bruxelles-Central, it would be Bruxelles-Nord, then Bruxelles-Schuman.
  • From Bruxelles-Midi, it would be Bruxelles-Central, Bruxelles-Nord,
  • Bruxelles-Schuman.
  • From Bruxelles-Nord, it is only one stop before you get to Bruxelles-Schuman.
  • Once you stop off at Bruxelles-Schuman, ask your way to the European Commission. From there, ICDA is not far off at all. The address is Rue Stevin, 115, on which you will find a big, white building with the block letters, I.P.C. This is the International Press Center. If ever you get lost, ask around for directions to the International Press Center.

    On that street, you should see an Irish Pub, A Sushi Bar, and a Spanish Bookshop. Those are the key landmarks we urge you to look out for. ICDA is in a building with three other NGOs, and is just 2 seconds walk from the Spanish bookshop, "Punto y Coma", which is only 5 secs walk from the Irish pub.

    Final landmark to look out for is DG Trade. That's also another clue, because ICDA is right behind DG Trade of the European Commission.
