Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bernissart

The Drive from BRU to Bernissart

Bernissart lies 100 km (63 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 8 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads southwest into the province of Hainaut, so most of the journey is steady motorway driving followed by a short stretch on local roads. Bernissart is not a commonly booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, on busy Friday afternoons, or in heavy rain, fog or winter conditions. Your driver tracks the situation and takes the most sensible route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option suits a family or four travellers with a few suitcases. Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats: for groups of up to 8 passengers
• 16 and 24 seats: for families, clubs and small teams
• 32, 40 and 48 seats: for large groups, events and company travel

If you carry bulky luggage, sports gear or musical instruments, choose the next size up so everyone travels comfortably over the 100 km.

About Bernissart

Bernissart is a small municipality in Hainaut, close to the French border. It is best known for the 1878 discovery of fossilised Iguanodon skeletons in a local coal mine, one of the most important dinosaur finds in Europe. The surrounding area is quiet and rural, with villages, canals and green countryside. Please give your driver the exact address, since many streets in smaller places are easy to confuse.
