Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ellezelles

The drive from Brussels Airport to Ellezelles

Ellezelles is 88 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 2 m. The route heads west and south-west across Flanders and into Hainaut, and the last stretch runs on smaller roads through open countryside. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Morning and evening rush hours around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip. If you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection, allow some extra time. A private transfer brings you to your address without changes, which is useful in a rural area like this.

Choosing the right vehicle

Two taxi options are available. One seats 1-3 passengers and the other 1-4 passengers, and either suits a couple, a family or a small business group with luggage. For larger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They work well for wedding guests, school or club outings, and company groups travelling together. Pick the size by the number of people and the amount of luggage, and leave a little room for bags.

Ellezelles as a destination

Ellezelles is a small municipality in the Hainaut province, in the rolling hills of the Pays des Collines near the Flemish border. It is quiet, green and spread out, so most visitors come for walking, cycling and the countryside rather than for sightseeing in a town centre. Because public transport is limited in this area, a pre-booked transfer is a practical way to reach a village address, a holiday home or a family event directly from the airport.
