Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Aarlen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Aarlen

The route covers 188 km (117 miles) and typically takes 1 h 54 m. It leads from the airport area south-east across Belgium to the province of Luxembourg, close to the border with the Grand Duchy. Most of the journey is on motorway, so the drive is steady rather than stop-start. Allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest, and in wintry weather, when the Ardennes side of the route can slow down.

Which vehicle suits your group

The trip takes close to two hours, so comfort and luggage space matter. These options are available:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples and families with normal luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a small group or a family travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for mid-sized groups, business delegations and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large tour groups, school trips and company events travelling together.

Choose the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, and when in doubt, go one size up for the extra room.

About Aarlen

Aarlen is the Dutch name for Arlon, the capital of the Belgian province of Luxembourg. The town lies near the Luxembourg border and has Roman origins, which makes it one of the older settlements in the country. It has a compact centre and a calm, provincial feel. Many visitors come for business or family reasons, or use it as a base for exploring southern Belgium, including the Gaume region and the Ardennes. Luxembourg City is also within easy reach.
