Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Graide

The drive from Brussels Airport to Graide

The route covers 131 km (82 miles) and typically takes 1 h 29 m. You leave the Zaventem area, cross the Brussels ring and head south-east towards the Ardennes. The last stretch leaves the main roads and runs through quieter rural roads in the province of Namur.

The first part of the trip is where delays tend to happen. The Brussels ring is busy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a tight schedule. In winter, rain, fog or frost can also slow the Ardennes section, and a private transfer lets the driver adjust to this without you having to plan connections.

Choosing the right vehicle

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Pick the vehicle by group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families or groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for tour groups, clubs and wedding or event parties.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for the largest groups travelling together in a single vehicle.

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle and you carry a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for comfort.
