Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Heer

The drive from Brussels Airport to Heer

Heer lies 115 km (72 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 20 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, followed by a quieter stretch on regional roads as you approach the Meuse valley. Heavy traffic around Brussels at rush hour, or poor weather, can lengthen the trip. If you have a train, a ferry or an appointment to make, add a buffer. Because Heer is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request, and your driver plans the trip around your arrival.

Meeting point at Zaventem

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can book a private minibus. The sizes are:

• 8 seats for small groups with extra luggage
• 16 and 24 seats for family gatherings or company teams
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large tour groups and events

For a 1 h 20 m ride, choose the size that gives everyone room for their bags. A slightly larger vehicle is often the more comfortable option.

About Heer

Heer is a small village on the Meuse in the province of Namur, close to the French border. It is a quiet, green corner of Wallonia, and visitors tend to come for the river scenery and the surrounding countryside rather than for city sights. Give your driver the exact address when you book, since small villages can have narrow streets and addresses that are hard to find without a precise location.
