Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Eynatten

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Eynatten

Eynatten lies 133 km (83 miles) from the airport, and the journey usually takes about 1 h 20 m. The route heads east across Belgium towards the German border, so the final stretch runs close to Aachen. Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request like any other transfer. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in bad weather, since the trip crosses a good part of the country.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for a larger family or a few colleagues with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 or 32 Seats for tour parties, clubs and business teams.
• Private Minibus 40 or 48 Seats for big groups travelling together, such as coach-sized delegations.

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for luggage.

Eynatten and Where to Stay

Eynatten is a small village in the municipality of Raeren, in the German-speaking part of eastern Belgium, right by the German border. It is a quiet, mostly residential place, and many visitors use it as a base for the wider border region or for trips to Aachen.

I cannot name well-known hotels in Eynatten itself with confidence, so here are established options in the nearest large town, Aachen, just across the border in Germany:

• Pullman Aachen Quellenhof, a long-standing upscale hotel near the city centre.
• Mercure Hotel Aachen am Dom, close to the cathedral and old town.
• Hotel Aquis Grana Cityhotel, a central hotel in the old town area.

If you are staying in Aachen, tell us when booking so the drop-off address is correct.
