Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bad Godesberg

The drive from Brussels Airport to Bad Godesberg

The route covers 243 km (151 miles) and typically takes 2 h 38 m. It crosses the border from Belgium into Germany and finishes in the southern part of Bonn, on the left bank of the Rhine. Because the journey is a long one, it is worth allowing extra time if you have a fixed appointment in Bad Godesberg. Heavy traffic around Brussels, Liège or Cologne, roadworks and bad weather can all lengthen the trip. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver covers the whole distance without any changes.

Choosing the right vehicle

A private taxi suits one to four passengers and is the natural choice for individual travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage. Larger groups can choose from minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. The 8-seat minibus works well for two families or colleagues travelling together with several suitcases. The 16- and 24-seat vehicles are a good fit for delegations, conference parties and school or club groups. The 32-, 40- and 48-seat options are meant for large tour groups and organised events. Choose a vehicle by passenger count and luggage volume, and go one size up if your group carries bulky items.

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. Once you have met, the driver takes you directly to your vehicle.

Bad Godesberg as a destination

Bad Godesberg is a district of Bonn and a well-known spa town with a long history as a health resort. It lies along the Rhine and is overlooked by the ruins of Godesburg castle on its hill. Before 1990 it was home to many embassies and diplomatic residences, which still shapes the district's villa-lined streets today. Visitors come for the riverside setting, the quiet town centre and easy access to the Siebengebirge hills on the opposite bank.

Where to stay in Bad Godesberg

The best-known address in the district is the Rheinhotel Dreesen, a historic hotel directly on the Rhine that has hosted guests since the early twentieth century. Nearby in central Bonn, Hotel Königshof on the Rhine promenade and the Maritim Hotel Bonn are long-established options for business and leisure travellers.
