Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Arloncourt

The drive from Zaventem to Arloncourt

Arloncourt lies 159 km (99 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 45 m. The route heads south-east across Belgium towards the Ardennes, so the last part of the journey usually runs through quieter roads and rolling countryside rather than motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when snow and fog can slow traffic in the Ardennes.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties travelling with luggage are better off in a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits family reunions, hiking groups, wedding parties and organised tours heading to the Ardennes. Pick the size by the number of people and suitcases, not only seats, as ski gear, hiking poles and bicycles take up space.

Arloncourt and where to stay nearby

Arloncourt is a small village in the Ardennes, in the municipality of Bastogne in Luxembourg province. It is a calm rural spot, and most visitors come for the surrounding woods, walking routes and the history of the Battle of the Bulge in the area. The village itself has little in the way of large hotels, so most travellers stay in nearby Bastogne, a few kilometres away. Two long-established options there are:

• Hôtel Lebrun, a family-run hotel in the town centre
• Hôtel Collin's, a central hotel close to the main square

Check availability early in summer and around commemoration events, when Bastogne fills up quickly.
