Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Botassart

The drive from Brussels Airport to Botassart

Botassart lies 148 km (92 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 42 m. You start on the busy roads around Brussels and finish on quieter roads in the Ardennes. Allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, or in wintry weather, when the last stretch through the hills can be slower. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a private taxi takes 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Walking, cycling or kayaking parties heading to the Semois valley often travel with bulky gear, so choose the next size up if you are unsure.

About Botassart

Botassart is a small hamlet in the municipality of Bouillon, in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. It sits in a wooded bend of the Semois river and is best known for the Tombeau du Géant, a viewpoint over the valley. Expect a quiet, rural setting suited to hiking and nature breaks rather than a busy resort.

Where to stay near Botassart

Botassart itself is tiny, so most visitors stay in nearby Bouillon, the closest town with a good choice of hotels. Two long-established names there are:

• Hôtel de la Poste, a traditional hotel in Bouillon town centre
• Hôtel Panorama, a hotel in Bouillon with views over the town and the castle area

Give your driver the exact address of your accommodation when you book, since some rural lodgings are hard to find.
