Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Adenau

The drive from Brussels Airport to Adenau

The route covers 256 km (160 miles) and typically takes 2 h 45 m. You leave Belgium and cross into Germany, then head into the hills of the Eifel for the last stretch. Roads in the Eifel can be slower than the motorway, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, such as a race-day entry or a hotel check-in deadline. In winter, fog or snow in the uplands can add to the journey. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Meeting point at Zaventem

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties can choose a private taxi: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. For larger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That range suits a racing club, a corporate team, a wedding party or a coach-style group trip. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage or sports equipment, pick the next size up so everyone has room.
