Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Enghien

The drive from Brussels Airport to Enghien

Enghien lies 57 km (36 miles) southwest of Brussels Zaventem Airport. The drive normally takes around 41 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and passes around Brussels before continuing towards the Hainaut countryside. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. The busiest stretch is the Brussels ring, so allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or if you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest choice. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For wedding guests, school trips, sports clubs and company groups, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick a vehicle with enough room for luggage as well as people, especially if you are arriving from a long-haul flight.

About Enghien

Enghien is a small town in the Walloon province of Hainaut, close to the border with Flanders. It is best known for the Parc d'Enghien, a large historic park with ponds and old trees that is open to visitors. The centre is compact and easy to explore on foot, so it suits a quiet stay or a visit to family and friends in the area.

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.

Public transport alternative

If you prefer to travel by rail, there is a scheduled connection:

• Train to Brussels-South, then train to Enghien, 1 change required, approx. 70–90 minutes total

This involves a change at a busy station with your luggage, so a private transfer is usually more comfortable, particularly for groups or late arrivals.
