Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Emptinne

The drive from Brussels Airport to Emptinne

Emptinne lies 89 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 58 minutes. Most of the journey is spent getting around the Brussels area and heading south-east into the province of Namur, before the road turns into quieter country lanes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in heavy rain, fog or winter conditions, which can slow the final stretch on smaller roads.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families or groups with standard luggage. Choose the four-passenger option if you want a little more room.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats: a good fit for larger families, friends travelling together, or small business groups with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for wedding parties, coach-style group trips, corporate events and other large gatherings that want to arrive together.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, pick the next size up so everyone and their bags travel comfortably.
