Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Emmen

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Emmen

Emmen lies 325 km (202 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey by road typically takes 3 h 31 m. The route leaves Belgium and crosses the Netherlands to the northeast, finishing in the province of Drenthe. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow extra time if you travel at rush hour, since the busy ring roads around Belgian and Dutch cities can slow traffic. Holiday weekends can add to the delay as well. A door-to-door transfer saves you the trouble of planning a long trip with several changes.

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, so you can go straight there from the baggage hall.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For a long ride like this, comfort and luggage space matter. Couples and small families can choose a private taxi: one version takes up to 3 passengers and another up to 4. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8 seats. Bigger groups, such as sports teams, company outings or wedding guests, can travel together in a minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, depending on group size. Please tell us your exact passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, so that the right vehicle is assigned.

Emmen as a Destination

Emmen is a town in the northeast of the Netherlands, in the province of Drenthe and close to the German border. The surrounding landscape is flat and green, with woods, heath and quiet countryside. The town is best known for Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen, which draws many families, and it also has a pedestrian shopping centre. Visitors often come to see relatives, to visit the zoo, or as a base for cycling and walking in Drenthe. Because Emmen is far from the main international gateways, a private transfer from Brussels is a practical way to reach it directly.
