Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Emblem

The Drive from BRU to Emblem

Emblem lies 43 km (27 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport. The journey typically takes around 42 minutes. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. The drive heads north towards the province of Antwerp. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and the Antwerp ring can slow traffic considerably, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection.

Meeting Point

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

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits solo travellers, couples and families with standard luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus. Options are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so a team, wedding party or company group can travel together in one vehicle. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, pick the next size up for extra space.

About Emblem and Where to Stay

Emblem is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Ranst, in the province of Antwerp. It is largely residential and surrounded by green countryside. There are few well-known hotels in the village itself, so many visitors stay in nearby Antwerp, the closest major city, which has several long-established hotels:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hotel Julien, a boutique hotel in the old town

Please give your driver the full street address of your destination when booking. Small village streets can be hard to locate, and an exact address ensures a smooth drop-off.
