Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Attenrode

The drive from Brussels Airport to Attenrode

Attenrode is 42 km (27 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 37 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and continues east through Flemish Brabant, ending on smaller regional roads. Traffic around the Brussels ring and the Leuven corridor can build up during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is worth allowing extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Bad weather can also slow the last stretch on rural roads.

Choosing the right vehicle

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport runs, but it is available on request like any other. For small parties, a Private Taxi takes 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits couples, families and business travellers with standard luggage. Larger groups can choose a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This is handy for wedding guests, sports teams, company outings or family gatherings, because everyone arrives together in one vehicle. If you are travelling with bulky items such as sports gear or several large suitcases, pick the next size up for comfort.

About Attenrode

Attenrode is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Glabbeek, in the Flemish province of Flemish Brabant. The surroundings are rural, with fields, farmland and low-key residential streets rather than a busy town centre. Because the village is small, it helps to give your driver the exact street address or a clear landmark when you book, so the final part of the trip goes smoothly. A private transfer is a practical choice here, as direct public transport options are limited for a village of this size.
