Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Esen

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Esen

The journey from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Esen covers 272 km (170 miles), and the typical driving time is 3 h 12 m.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry. On a drive of more than three hours, a little extra space makes a real difference.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a comfortable choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for tour parties, clubs and business groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats (up to 48 passengers): meant for large delegations, school trips and event groups arriving together.

About Esen as a Destination

Esen is a small place in Belgium, so expect a quieter setting than the big cities you pass on the way. The last part of the trip usually leaves the main motorways and continues on local roads. If you are meeting friends, relatives or hosts on arrival, it helps to share your expected arrival time with them, since the long drive makes timing more important than on a short city transfer.
