Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Geraardsbergen

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

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

The Drive to Geraardsbergen

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Geraardsbergen covers 60 km (37 miles) and typically takes about 51 minutes. You leave the airport area, pass around the Brussels region and continue southwest into the Flemish countryside of East Flanders. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and a private car takes you from the arrivals hall to your door without any changes.

Traffic around Brussels can be heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a dinner reservation at the other end. Bad weather can also slow the last stretch on smaller roads.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

The vehicle choice depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for sports teams, school groups, wedding parties and company outings.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups that want to travel together in a single vehicle.

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

About Geraardsbergen

Geraardsbergen is a town in East Flanders on the Dender river, in the hilly region known as the Flemish Ardennes. It is best known for the Manneken-Pis statue, which locals claim as the oldest in Belgium, and for the Muur van Geraardsbergen, the steep cobbled climb that features in Flemish cycling races. The town is also famous for its mattentaart, a local pastry. Because the centre is built on a slope, comfortable shoes are useful if you plan to explore on foot. When booking, give the full street address of your hotel or destination so your driver can take you right to the door.
