Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Aywaille

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without a search.

The Drive to Aywaille

The route covers 119 km (74 miles) and typically takes 1 h 17 m. It runs east from Zaventem towards the province of Liège and then into the green valleys of the Ardennes edge. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and Liège can slow the first and last stretches. Winter weather can also lengthen the journey on the smaller roads near Aywaille. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, allow some extra time. As this route is only booked occasionally, it is worth confirming your pickup details well ahead of travel.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small groups and couples are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 4-passenger option gives a little more room for a family or for extra bags. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit family gatherings, wedding guests, sports teams and company groups travelling together. Choose the size according to both passengers and luggage, as a full minibus has less space for large cases.

About Aywaille

Aywaille is a municipality in the province of Liège, set along the Amblève river in the Ardennes foothills. It is known as a base for walks, cycling and outdoor days. The Remouchamps caves, with their underground river, are one of the best-known sights in the area. The surroundings are quiet and wooded, and a private transfer is a straightforward way to arrive with luggage.

Places to Stay Nearby

I cannot name long-established hotels in Aywaille with enough confidence, so here are two well-known ones in Spa, the nearby Ardennes spa town. The Radisson Blu Palace Hotel is a large historic hotel in the centre of Spa. The Hotel Balmoral is another established address in the town, set in a quieter residential area. Both make a possible base if you plan to explore the wider region as well as Aywaille.
