Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Spa-Francorchamps

The route covers 139 km (87 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 30 m. The last stretch leads into the hills of the Ardennes, where roads are narrower and more winding than on the motorway section. Allow extra time during race weekends and other big events at the circuit, as traffic around Francorchamps builds up quickly. Bad winter weather can also slow things down in the higher parts of the region. If you have a ticket for a specific session, plan to arrive well ahead of it.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, small families or friends, a private taxi works well, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Bigger race-weekend groups can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. Club outings, corporate parties and supporter groups can book 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together. Pick the size by passenger count and luggage, since fans often bring bags, flags and camping gear.

About Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps

The circuit lies in the wooded Ardennes in eastern Belgium and is one of the best-known motorsport venues in the world. It hosts the Belgian Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Spa, and its Eau Rouge and Raidillon corner sequence is famous among racing fans. Outside race weekends the surrounding countryside is popular for hiking and quiet breaks.

Where to Stay Nearby

Most visitors stay in the nearby town of Spa, which has a long tradition as a spa resort. Well-known options there include the Radisson Blu Palace Hotel, the Hotel Balmoral and the Manoir de Lébioles. Rooms fill up fast around Grand Prix dates, so book accommodation early.
