Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Arbrefontaine

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Arbrefontaine

The route covers 151 km (94 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 39 m. You leave the Brussels area first and then continue south-east towards the Ardennes, so the last part of the trip runs through quieter, more rural surroundings. Arbrefontaine is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

Allow extra time if your journey starts during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, as traffic near the airport can slow the first stretch. In winter, higher ground in the Ardennes can bring fog, rain or icy patches, which may add to the usual driving time. If you have a connection or an appointment at the other end, building in a small buffer is sensible.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties, a Private Taxi is available in two versions: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Pick the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases or a child seat, since luggage space is what usually decides it.

Larger groups can book a Private Minibus:

• 8 seats: families or small groups of friends
• 16 seats: extended families or small teams
• 24 and 32 seats: wedding parties, clubs or sports teams
• 40 and 48 seats: large tour groups and organised events

With a private vehicle the whole group travels together from the airport to the door, which is practical on a destination that is off the main tourist routes.

About Arbrefontaine

Arbrefontaine is a small village in the Belgian Ardennes, in the municipality of Lierneux. The area is hilly and wooded, and it is best known for its countryside, walking and cycling opportunities and a quiet pace of life. Services in the village itself are limited, so it helps to sort out food, cash and any other essentials before you head into the more rural part of the journey. Having an exact address or pin for your final stop makes it easier for the driver to find small local roads.
