Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Echternach

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Echternach

The route covers 239 km (149 miles) and typically takes 2 h 35 m. It heads south-east through Belgium and across the Luxembourg border, and the last stretch leads down to the Sauer valley. Because this is a longer transfer, allow some extra time if you travel during the Brussels morning or evening rush hour, or in bad winter weather. A private transfer lets you leave straight after landing, with no connections to plan around.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

Echternach is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but we arrange it on request like any other route. Choose the vehicle according to group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to couples, small families or business travellers.

• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour groups, school trips and larger events.

If you carry bulky items such as bicycles or hiking gear, pick a size up so everything fits comfortably.

Echternach and Where to Stay

Echternach lies on the Sauer river, right on the German border, and is often described as the oldest town in Luxembourg. It grew around the abbey founded by Saint Willibrord, and its basilica and old market square are the main sights. The town is also a popular base for walks and cycling in the Müllerthal region, known as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland.

Well-established places to stay in Echternach include:

• Hostellerie de la Basilique, a hotel near the historic centre.
• Hotel Bel-Air, a long-standing hotel on the edge of town.
• Hotel Eden au Lac, close to the town's lake.

Share the exact hotel name or address when you book, so the driver can take you to the right entrance, as the old town centre has narrow streets.
