Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Braives

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Braives

The route covers 65 km (41 miles) and typically takes about 47 minutes. You leave the Brussels ring area first and then continue east through the Walloon countryside towards the Hesbaye region. Braives is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other, so a private driver takes you door to door without connections or luggage handling on trains and buses.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, since the first stretch out of the Zaventem area is the part most likely to be slow. Bad weather in winter can also lengthen the journey on rural roads near the end.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with plenty of bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for tour groups, wedding parties, company teams, and other larger gatherings travelling together.

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle and carry a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for comfort.
