Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Düsseldorf city (all areas)

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Düsseldorf

The route covers 200 km (125 miles) and typically takes 2 h 7 m. It runs from Zaventem across the Belgian border and on into North Rhine-Westphalia. Journey time depends on traffic, so allow extra time during weekday rush hours and when you have a fixed appointment, such as a trade fair opening or a business meeting. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so please book ahead with your arrival details.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest choice. Pick the larger one if you carry bulky luggage. Business teams and groups of friends can use the 8-seat minibus. For conference delegations, tour groups and larger parties, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

Düsseldorf as a Destination

Düsseldorf is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia and sits on the Rhine. It is known for its fashion and trade fair scene, the Königsallee shopping boulevard and the lively Altstadt, with its many brewery pubs serving Altbier. The riverside promenade and the Media Harbour with its modern architecture are popular for an evening walk. Your driver can take you to any area of the city, whether you are heading to the centre, the fairgrounds or a residential district.
