Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bois-d’Haine

The drive from BRU to Bois-d’Haine

The route covers 60 km (38 miles) and typically takes around 43 minutes. You leave the Zaventem area, pass around Brussels and continue south-west into the province of Hainaut. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a private transfer is easy to arrange even if the destination is off the usual list.

The Brussels ring road is the main variable. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, traffic around the capital can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a train connection or an event at the other end. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add minutes to the usual journey.

Which vehicle suits your group

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are two options: one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases.

Larger parties are covered by private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit family gatherings, wedding guests, sports teams, company groups and anyone who wants to arrive together rather than split across several cars. Pick the size that matches your headcount, and keep luggage in mind as well as seats.

About Bois-d’Haine

Bois-d’Haine is a small village in the municipality of Manage, in the province of Hainaut. It is a quiet, largely residential place and is best known for its connection to Louise Lateau, a 19th-century Belgian mystic who lived there.
