Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Banneux

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.

The Drive from Zaventem to Banneux

The transfer covers 118 km (74 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. Most of the route is motorway, heading east and then south towards the province of Liège before you leave the main roads for the quieter approach to Banneux. Banneux is a less frequently booked destination, so the transfer is arranged on request, with the same private service as any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in winter, when conditions in the hills of eastern Belgium can slow traffic. If you are heading to a pilgrimage service or a fixed appointment, build in a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples and families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for a larger family or a small group with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for parish groups, clubs and organised small tours.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large pilgrimage groups travelling together.

About Banneux

Banneux is a small village in the province of Liège, best known as a place of pilgrimage. The Marian apparitions reported here in 1933 made Banneux Notre-Dame a destination for visitors from Belgium and abroad. The surroundings are green and rural, at the edge of the Ardennes, so expect a calm setting rather than a busy town.

Where to Stay Nearby

Banneux itself is small, so for well-known, long-established hotels it is worth looking at the nearby town of Spa, famous for its thermal heritage. Two names to consider there are the Radisson Blu Palace Hotel and the Hôtel Balmoral. Both are familiar addresses for visitors to the Spa area. Your driver can take you directly to whichever address you book.
