Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gorsem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gorsem

Gorsem lies 61 km (38 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the trip normally takes about 50 minutes. The route heads east into Flemish Limburg, so the final stretch passes through quiet countryside rather than city streets. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow the first part of the journey, particularly on weekday mornings and late afternoons. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, it is sensible to add a buffer to the 50 minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

This route is booked less often than the busy city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Solo travellers, couples and small families fit a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The 8-seat version suits two families or a small business team. The 16 and 24-seat versions suit wedding guests or sports clubs. The 32, 40 and 48-seat versions cover bigger groups travelling together. Everyone should count their suitcases as well as the passengers, since luggage takes up room in smaller vehicles.

About Gorsem

If you are heading to a private address or a countryside venue, share the exact street name with your booking so the driver can navigate straight there.
