Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Éghezée

The drive from Zaventem to Éghezée

The journey covers 60 km (37 miles) and usually takes around 43 minutes. You leave the Brussels area and head southeast into Wallonia, where the traffic is lighter than around the capital. The part to watch is the start: the Brussels ring and the approach roads near the airport can slow down noticeably at morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment at the other end. Éghezée is an occasionally booked route, so your driver will have your exact destination address in advance.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families fit well in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger taxi if you carry several suitcases or travel with four people. For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding guests, company teams and organised groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle rather than splitting up.

Éghezée as a destination

Éghezée is a municipality in the province of Namur, in the rural Hesbaye area of Wallonia. It is a quiet, largely agricultural part of Belgium made up of several villages, so a door-to-door transfer is often the simplest way to reach a specific address. Namur, the regional capital, lies nearby and offers more in the way of shops, restaurants and sights.

Places to stay near Éghezée

Éghezée itself is small, so many visitors choose accommodation in nearby Namur. Well-known options there include:

• Hôtel Château de Namur, set in a castle-style building near the citadel
• Hôtel Les Tanneurs de Namur, a hotel in the old town
• Hôtel Beauregard, located on the banks of the Meuse

If you are staying in one of them, mention it when booking so the drop-off address is correct.
