Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Delft

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Delft

The route covers 158 km (99 miles) and typically takes 1 h 48 m. It runs north through Flanders and across the Dutch border, then continues towards Rotterdam and on to Delft. Traffic around Antwerp and the Rotterdam area can slow things down at rush hour, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers; pick the larger one if you have bulky luggage. Bigger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits conference delegates, university groups and tour parties travelling together.

Delft as a Destination

Delft is a compact canal city between Rotterdam and The Hague. It is known for Delft Blue pottery, the painter Johannes Vermeer and the Delft University of Technology. The historic centre is small and best explored on foot, with the Markt square and its two big churches at the heart of it.
