Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Dudelange

The drive from Zaventem to Dudelange

The route covers 230 km (143 miles) and typically takes 2 h 20 m. It leaves the Brussels area and runs south-east through Wallonia towards the Luxembourg border, a corridor that most drivers know well. Dudelange is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if your trip starts during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or if bad weather slows traffic on the way. Crossing into Luxembourg is straightforward, and your driver handles the navigation, so you can rest after your flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options: a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Pick the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases. Families with extra luggage, business groups and colleagues sharing a ride can book a Private Minibus with 8 seats. Larger groups, such as conference delegates, sports teams or wedding parties, can choose a minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Everyone then travels together in a single vehicle and arrives at the same time.

Dudelange and where to stay

Dudelange lies in the south of Luxembourg, close to the French border. It is known for its industrial past and is a quieter, more local alternative to the capital. I could not confidently name long-established hotels in Dudelange itself, so these suggestions are in nearby Luxembourg City, the closest major hub for accommodation:

• Le Royal Hotels & Resorts, a well-known upscale hotel in the city centre
• Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal, a long-standing hotel with views over the Pétrusse valley
• Hotel Parc Belle-Vue, a established hotel close to the Pétrusse Park

If your destination is a private address or a local business in Dudelange, simply give the exact address when booking so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area of Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding 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.
