Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Francorchamps

The drive from BRU to Francorchamps

The route covers 137 km (86 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 26 m. You travel from the Brussels area towards the Ardennes in the east of Belgium, so the last part of the trip runs through hillier, more wooded country. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush around Brussels, in winter weather, and on race weekends at the nearby circuit, when local roads fill up quickly. This route is booked only occasionally, so it is worth reserving ahead.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Teams, race fans travelling together and corporate groups often take the larger sizes so everyone arrives together with their luggage. If you carry bulky items, tell us the number of bags when booking so the vehicle matches the load.

Francorchamps as a destination

Francorchamps is a village in the Belgian Ardennes, part of the municipality of Stavelot in the province of Liège. It is best known for the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian Grand Prix, and it is also a good base for walking and cycling in the surrounding forests. The town of Spa, famous for its thermal baths, lies close by.

Where to stay near Francorchamps

Accommodation in Francorchamps itself is mostly small and local, so many visitors stay in the nearby town of Spa. Two well-known options there are:

• Radisson Blu Palace Hotel, a large historic hotel in the centre of Spa
• Hôtel Balmoral, a long-established hotel on the hillside above the town
