Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gozée

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gozée

Gozée lies 87 km (54 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 3 m. That is a fair distance for a private transfer, so it helps to plan with a little margin. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, and bad weather can add time as well. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, allow extra time. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage. For couples, solo travellers or small families, a private taxi is the simple choice, with one option for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Minibuses also work well when you travel with a lot of luggage, because the extra space means no one has to squeeze in. Choose the size that fits your whole party and bags, not just the head count.

About Gozée

Gozée is a village in the province of Hainaut, in the French-speaking part of Belgium, and part of the municipality of Thuin. It sits in the Sambre valley, not far from Charleroi. The ruins of Aulne Abbey are one of the best-known sights in the area. The surroundings are green and quiet, with riverside paths and countryside that suit walkers and cyclists. Since it is a small place, it is best to have the exact address of your destination ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the door.

Meeting point
