Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gemmenich

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gemmenich

Gemmenich lies 134 km (84 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes around 1 h 29 m. The route leads east across Belgium towards the German and Dutch borders, so most of the trip is spent on motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours around Brussels, and in heavy rain or winter weather, when the east-bound roads can slow down. After a long flight, a private transfer means you can sit back instead of working out connections for a destination this far from the capital.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, a private minibus with 8 seats gives everyone more space. Larger groups, such as wedding parties, sports teams, company delegations or coach-style tours, can choose a minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size by the number of passengers in your party, and keep in mind that suitcases and sports equipment take up room as well.

About Gemmenich

Gemmenich is a quiet village in the municipality of Plombières, in the province of Liège. It sits in the far east of Belgium, close to the Dutch border and not far from the German city of Aachen. The surrounding countryside is green and gently hilly, which makes the area popular with walkers and cyclists.
