Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ghlin

The drive from Brussels Airport to Ghlin

Ghlin lies 82 km (51 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 59 minutes. The route leads you out of the Brussels area and southwest towards Mons, so most of the journey is on motorway. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels can slow the first part, so it is wise to allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage. Two options suit small parties:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) for solo travellers, couples or a small family with ordinary luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) for a group of four who want a little more room.

Larger groups can book a private minibus. Seat counts are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48, so you can pick the size closest to your party, whether it is a family gathering, a team arriving for a business visit or a group heading to an event in the Mons region. If you are travelling with bulky items such as sports gear or several large suitcases, choosing the next size up is a sensible precaution.

Ghlin as a destination

Ghlin is a village in the municipality of Mons, in the Hainaut province of Wallonia. It is a mainly residential and quiet place, and the historic centre of Mons is close by. Many travellers heading here are visiting family, working at a company in the area or using Ghlin as a base to explore the wider Mons region. A private transfer takes you straight to the address, which saves you from planning connections for the last few kilometres.
