Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Barvaux

The drive from Brussels Airport to Barvaux

Barvaux lies 121 km (76 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 24 m. The route leads out of the Brussels area and south-east towards the Ardennes, so the first stretch is the one that decides how long you spend on the road. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in heavy rain, snow or fog, which can slow traffic on the way into the hills. This is a route that is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and a private driver takes you door to door without changes.

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 go straight there and meet your driver without wandering around the terminal.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, small families or solo travellers, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version takes up to 3 passengers, the other up to 4. Larger parties travelling to a family gathering, a weekend in the countryside or an outdoor event can choose a private minibus. The minibus options seat 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 passengers, so you can match the vehicle closely to your group size and keep everyone together in one vehicle. If you carry a lot of luggage, such as hiking gear or sports equipment, it is worth choosing the next size up for extra space.

Barvaux and where to stay nearby

Barvaux (Barvaux-sur-Ourthe) is a small town in the Belgian Ardennes, in the municipality of Durbuy, in the valley of the Ourthe river. The area is known for its wooded hills, riverside scenery and outdoor activities such as walking and kayaking. It is a quiet destination, so most visitors arrive with a specific plan, whether a stay in nature or a visit to nearby Durbuy.

I cannot name long-established hotels in Barvaux itself with confidence, so here are well-known places in the neighbouring town of Durbuy, a short drive away:

• Le Sanglier des Ardennes, a long-standing hotel and restaurant in the centre of Durbuy.
• Le Clos des Récollets, a hotel in the old town of Durbuy.

Share the full address of your accommodation when you book, and your driver will take you straight there.
