Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Amstelveen

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching.

The Drive to Amstelveen

The trip covers 197 km (123 miles) and typically takes 2 h 11 m. The route leads north from Brussels across the Belgian-Dutch border and on towards the Amsterdam area. Amstelveen is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours, or on busy holiday weekends, because the motorways around Antwerp and Amsterdam can slow down. If you have a meeting or a check-in time, plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This makes the route suitable for business delegations, school trips, sports teams and wedding guests as well as individual travellers. Check how much luggage you carry before choosing, especially on a journey of over two hours.

Amstelveen and Where to Stay

Amstelveen is a municipality just south of Amsterdam. It is known for its modern shopping centre, the green spaces of the Amsterdamse Bos and a sizeable international community, including many Japanese residents. It is a quiet, well-connected base for business visits and for reaching Schiphol and central Amsterdam.

Amstelveen itself has a limited choice of long-established landmark hotels, so for well-known accommodation it is worth looking at neighbouring Amsterdam, which borders the town. Notable options there include:

• Amstel Hotel, a grand riverside hotel on the Amstel
• Hotel Okura Amsterdam, a large, long-standing hotel in the south of the city
• Conservatorium Hotel, set in a former music conservatory near the Museum Quarter

Give your driver the exact address when you book, and the transfer will take you right to the door.
