Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Denée

Meeting Point

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Denée

Denée lies 91 km (56 miles) from the airport, and the journey typically takes 1 h 8 m. The route leads south-east from Zaventem into the province of Namur, so you leave the Brussels region behind and the landscape becomes steadily greener and more rolling. Denée is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in poor weather, as the first stretch near the capital is the busiest part of the trip.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle is matched to your group size, and luggage space is worth considering as well as seat count.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for tour groups, wedding parties, retreat groups, and company outings, with up to 48 passengers in a single vehicle.

About Denée

Denée is a quiet village in the municipality of Anhée, in the Walloon province of Namur. It is best known for Maredsous Abbey, a Benedictine monastery set among fields and woodland, which draws walkers, cyclists, and visitors interested in its abbey church and the region's monastic traditions. The surrounding countryside is calm and rural, so expect village lanes rather than city bustle.

Places to Stay in and near Denée

In Denée itself, Maredsous Abbey offers guest accommodation for visitors seeking a peaceful stay, and it is worth checking availability well in advance. For a wider choice of hotels, the nearest larger town is Dinant, on the River Meuse, where the Mercure Dinant Castel de Pont-à-Lesse is a long-established hotel in a historic setting.
