Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Heers

The drive from Brussels Airport to Heers

Heers lies 79 km (49 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 51 minutes. The route leads east out of the Brussels area into the Flemish countryside of Limburg, so most of the journey is on motorway before switching to quieter regional roads for the final stretch. Heers is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when traffic around Brussels and Leuven is heaviest. Bad weather in winter can also add some minutes. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, it is sensible to plan a small buffer on top of the usual driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so a family of four with suitcases can travel together in one car.

Larger groups are covered by a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats for extended families or small business teams
• 16 and 24 seats for wedding parties, clubs or conference delegations
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large tour groups and organised events

Choose the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage you bring, since bulky items take up space in the smaller vehicles.

About Heers

Heers is a small rural municipality in the province of Limburg, in the Haspengouw region. This part of Belgium is known for its gently rolling farmland and fruit orchards, which are especially pretty in spring when the trees blossom. The area is quiet and peaceful, with villages, country lanes and cycling routes rather than big-city sights. Most visitors come to see family, attend a local event or explore the surrounding countryside. The nearby town of Sint-Truiden is the main regional centre.
