Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bomal

The drive from Brussels Zaventem to Bomal

Bomal is 144 km (90 miles) from the airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 34 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads towards the Ardennes, where the roads get quieter and more winding on the last stretch. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels, in wintry weather, and on busy summer weekends, when traffic towards the Ourthe valley can be slower. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit a private taxi, which is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you are travelling with more luggage or a slightly larger party, the 8-seat minibus gives you extra room. Larger groups, such as friends on an outdoor weekend, a family gathering or an organised trip, can choose a private minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size by passenger count and bags rather than by seats alone, so everyone rides comfortably over the 1 h 34 m journey.

About Bomal and where to stay

Bomal is a small village on the Ourthe river in the Belgian province of Luxembourg, and it belongs to the municipality of Durbuy. It is known mainly for its green surroundings, walking and river activities, rather than for sights or nightlife. I cannot name specific long-established hotels in Bomal itself with confidence, so here are two well-known places to stay in the nearby town of Durbuy:

• Le Sanglier des Ardennes, a long-standing hotel and restaurant in Durbuy
• Hostellerie Jean de Bohême, a traditional hotel in Durbuy
