Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Eupen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Eupen

The route covers 127 km (79 miles) and typically takes 1 h 21 m. It leads from the Brussels area across Wallonia to the far east of Belgium, close to the German border. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when conditions in the eastern uplands can slow traffic. Eupen is an occasionally booked route, so a pre-booked private transfer is a practical way to avoid planning connections yourself.

Eupen as a destination

Eupen is the main town of Belgium's German-speaking Community, and German is the everyday language there. It lies near the High Fens nature reserve and the Vesdre and Weser valleys, which makes it a base for walking and cycling. The old town has a compact centre with cafés and shops, and the town is known for its carnival celebrations.

Where to stay in Eupen

Two established options in town are Bellmerin Hotel and Hotel Ambassador. Both are used by business visitors and by leisure travellers heading out to the countryside. Tell your driver the exact address of your accommodation when booking so the drop-off goes smoothly.
