Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hannut

The drive from Zaventem to Hannut

The route covers 57 km (36 miles) and typically takes 39 minutes. It leads from the Brussels airport area eastward into the Walloon province of Liège, so you leave the capital's busy ring behind fairly quickly. Hannut is an occasionally booked destination, which makes a pre-arranged private transfer the simplest way to get there. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels and in bad weather, as the first stretch out of the airport area is the part most likely to slow down.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which keeps everyone together in one vehicle instead of splitting across several cars. If you travel with a lot of luggage, or with sports equipment or business samples, choose the next size up for more room. Pick the category by the number of passengers in your party.

About Hannut

Hannut is a small French-speaking town in the Hesbaye region of Liège province, surrounded by open farmland. It is a quiet, largely local destination rather than a tourist hotspot. History enthusiasts may know the area for the Battle of Hannut in May 1940, one of the early tank engagements of the Second World War. A door-to-door transfer is practical here, as the town sits away from the main rail corridors and you avoid planning onward connections after a flight.
