Public visits
School classes, organizations and interested groups are welcome to visit NATO Headquarters in Brussels. The visits are arranged by NATO's Public Diplomacy Division, the division responsible for informing the wider public about NATO's activities and policies.
A visit to NATO HQ normally takes approximately three hours and consists of two parts. First, a general introduction to NATO and information about current political issues is held by a representative from NATO International Staff. The briefing is followed by a meeting with a representative from the Norwegian Delegation, who will inform about Norway’s work in NATO. If your group has a particular interest in a topic you are welcome to make a request for the briefings to also cover this subject.
NATO HQ is located in the north eastern part of Brussels close to Zaventem airport. Upon request NATO can help organising transport to and from the NATO HQ and your hotel in Brussels.
Due to security restrictions it is not possible to have a guided tour of the Headquarters.
Visits have to be booked in advance. If you are interested in visiting NATO HQ, please contact visits@hq.nato.int.
