Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to B-aparthotel Ambiorix, Brussels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching the terminal.

The Drive to B-aparthotel Ambiorix

The route covers 13 km (8 miles) and normally takes around 17 minutes. The journey runs from the airport at Zaventem into the east of Brussels, where the European Quarter begins. Traffic is the main variable. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, the approach to the city is busier, so a little extra time is sensible if you have a fixed appointment or a meeting soon after arrival. Outside those hours the trip is usually smooth and short.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit well in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The larger option is useful if you travel with several suitcases or a child seat situation that needs more room. For groups, there is a range of private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, and the 8-seat version suits a family or a few colleagues travelling together. Larger coaches are better for conference delegations, school groups or tour parties heading into the city together. Since this route is booked less often than the busiest ones, it is best to reserve ahead and give your group size accurately, so the right vehicle is assigned.

About the Destination

B-aparthotel Ambiorix is an apartment-style hotel in the Ambiorix area of Brussels, on the edge of the European Quarter. Staying in an aparthotel generally means more space than a standard hotel room and often a kitchen area, which suits longer stays and families. The neighbourhood is residential in feel and close to the Cinquantenaire park and the EU institutions, which makes it practical for business visitors as well as leisure travellers. For drop-off, it helps to have the full address and your booking confirmation ready, and to tell your driver if you need to wait for check-in at reception.
