Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gesves

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gesves

Gesves lies 82 km (51 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 58 minutes. The route heads south-west towards Wallonia, so most of the journey is on motorway before the road narrows into quieter country roads close to the village. Gesves is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, as traffic near the ring road can add to the standard journey time.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Families with several suitcases or small groups travelling together can move up to a private minibus with 8 seats. For larger parties such as wedding guests, company teams or sports clubs, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone can arrive together in one vehicle instead of splitting up. When you book, count your luggage as well as your passengers, so the vehicle has enough room for everything.

Gesves and where to stay nearby

Gesves is a rural municipality in the province of Namur, set in the green, hilly Condroz region of Wallonia. It is a calm place of villages, farmland and woods, which suits visitors looking for a break from the city. I cannot name long-established hotels in Gesves itself with confidence, so here are well-known options in the nearest larger town, Namur:

• Hôtel Les Tanneurs de Namur, a hotel in the old town
• Château de Namur, a hotel in a historic building close to the citadel
• Novotel Namur, a straightforward choice for business and leisure travellers
