Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gellik

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gellik

Gellik lies 103 km (65 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 11 m. The route runs east across Flanders into the province of Limburg, so a single private vehicle takes you door to door without any changes. Gellik is not a frequently booked destination, but transfers are available on request just like on any busier route. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush around Brussels, as well as in bad weather, when the 1 h 11 m estimate can stretch.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest option. The 4-passenger taxi leaves a little more room for luggage and for a child seat or an extra traveller. Larger groups can choose from a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding parties, sports teams and company groups travelling together. Pick a vehicle with some spare capacity if you carry bulky bags, sports gear or musical instruments.

About Gellik

Gellik is a small village in the municipality of Lanaken, in Belgian Limburg, close to the Dutch border and the city of Maastricht. The area is quiet and mostly residential, with countryside and the Albert Canal nearby. Because it is a small place, it is worth keeping the exact address to hand so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Where to stay near Gellik

Gellik itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so most visitors look at nearby Maastricht in the Netherlands, the closest larger town with a good choice of accommodation. Established options there include:

• Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, a hotel in a converted medieval monastery
• Hotel Derlon Maastricht, a central hotel built beside Roman remains
• Grand Hotel de l'Empereur, a long-standing hotel in the city centre

If your transfer ends in Maastricht rather than Gellik, tell us the address when you book.
