Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bilstain

The drive from Brussels Airport to Bilstain

Bilstain lies 119 km (74 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 13 m. The journey runs from the Brussels area eastwards into the province of Liège, so most of it is on motorway before you reach quieter local roads near the village. Allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, since traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip. Bad weather in winter can also add time on the final stretch. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Choosing the right vehicle for your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It comes in two sizes, for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, and the larger one gives more room for suitcases when four people travel together. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding guests, sports teams, family reunions and company groups who want to arrive together without splitting up. When you book, count your luggage as well as your passengers, and pick the next size up if you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams.

About Bilstain

Bilstain is a small village in the municipality of Limbourg, in the Walloon province of Liège, close to the town of Verviers. The area is green and hilly, a good base for walks and quiet countryside stays rather than city sightseeing. If you are heading to a private address or a rural guesthouse, keep the full address handy so your driver can find the exact entrance.
