Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bornem

The drive from BRU to Bornem

Bornem lies 40 km (25 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 35 minutes. The route heads northwest out of the airport area and continues towards the Scheldt region in the province of Antwerp. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring and the Antwerp-bound motorways can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival. This route is booked only occasionally, so a private transfer is a practical way to reach Bornem without planning several connections.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties can travel in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option leaves more space for suitcases when you are travelling as a family or with colleagues. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together in a single vehicle. This suits wedding parties, company teams, school trips and sports clubs. Count your luggage as well as your passengers when choosing.

Bornem as a destination

Bornem is a Flemish municipality in the province of Antwerp, on the banks of the Scheldt. It is a quiet, largely residential area with green surroundings, well known for the Castle of Bornem. Most visitors come for business, to see family, or for events in the surrounding towns of the Rivierenland region. Because it is a small place, give your driver the exact street address, so the final part of the journey goes smoothly.

Meeting Point
