Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Enschede

The drive from Brussels Airport to Enschede

Enschede lies 305 km (190 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 3 h 15 m. The route leaves Belgium and crosses the Netherlands to the eastern edge of the country, close to the German border. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and the larger Dutch cities can slow the journey. Bad weather can also add to the total. A direct private transfer means you travel without changing trains and without carrying luggage between platforms.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-passenger option leaves more room for suitcases. Larger groups can book a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits business delegations, university visitors, sports teams and wedding parties travelling together. On a journey of more than three hours, choosing a vehicle with spare space for luggage makes the trip noticeably more comfortable.

Enschede as a destination

Enschede is a city in the province of Overijssel, in the Twente region. It has a long textile-industry heritage and is home to the University of Twente, so many visitors come for study, research or business. The city also has museums, including the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, and a lively centre with cafés and shops. Its position near the German border makes it a convenient base for exploring both sides of the frontier.
