Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Diekirch

The drive from Brussels Airport to Diekirch

Diekirch lies 195 km (122 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes around 2 h 22 m. The route leads south-east out of the Brussels area, across the Belgian Ardennes and over the border into northern Luxembourg. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so it is worth arranging your transfer in advance.

Allow some extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, as traffic around Brussels can slow the first stretch. In winter, snow or fog in the Ardennes can also add time, so avoid scheduling a tight connection straight after arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for business delegations, wedding parties, hiking groups and family gatherings travelling together with their luggage. Since 195 km is a long ride, pick a vehicle with enough room for everyone and their bags to be comfortable.

Diekirch as a destination

Diekirch is a small town in northern Luxembourg on the Sûre river, at the edge of the Ardennes. It is known for its brewery tradition and for the National Museum of Military History, which covers the Battle of the Bulge in the area during the Second World War. The surrounding countryside is popular with walkers and cyclists, and nearby Ettelbruck and Vianden are easy to reach. Diekirch itself is compact, so your driver can drop you directly at your hotel or address.
