Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bougnies

The drive from Zaventem to Bougnies

Bougnies lies 91 km (57 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 1 h 4 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues south into Hainaut, so most of the journey is on main roads before you reach the quieter local streets of the village. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first stretch, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch or an event at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit comfortably in a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which also leaves space for luggage. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For wedding guests, company groups or bigger gatherings, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats keep everyone together in one vehicle. When you book, count your suitcases as well as your passengers, so the vehicle matches the load.

About Bougnies

Bougnies is a small village in the province of Hainaut, in Wallonia. It is a rural, residential place rather than a tourist centre, and visitors usually come to stay with family or friends, attend a private event or reach a property in the surrounding countryside. Because village streets can be narrow and house numbers hard to spot, it helps to give your driver the full address in advance, and a contact phone number for the person you are visiting.
