Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Barbençon

The drive from Brussels Airport to Barbençon

Barbençon lies 102 km (64 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 20 m. Most of the journey is on motorway heading south, before the road narrows to regional roads for the final stretch into the countryside of Hainaut. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other transfer.

Allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around the Brussels ring road is heaviest. Wet or foggy weather can also slow the last part of the trip, where roads are quieter but more winding. Your driver follows your flight arrival and plans the trip accordingly.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option, with seating for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties with plenty of luggage are better off in a minibus.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: groups of up to 8 passengers
• Private Minibus 16 Seats: groups of up to 16 passengers
• Private Minibus 24 and 32 Seats: larger family gatherings, clubs or wedding parties
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: big groups, events and organised tours

About Barbençon

Barbençon is a small village in the municipality of Beaumont, in the province of Hainaut in southern Belgium, not far from the French border. It is a quiet, rural place, known for its traditional stone buildings and its listing among the most beautiful villages of Wallonia. Visitors usually come for walks, the surrounding countryside and a slower pace than the capital.

Because the village is small and the roads around it are narrow, it helps to give your exact address or the name of your accommodation when booking, so the driver can take you right to the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can meet your driver without any searching around the terminal.
