Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Helecine

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Helecine

Helecine lies 49 km (30 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 33 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a private car is arranged for your arrival time. Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when traffic around Brussels slows down. Bad weather can also add a few minutes, particularly in winter.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business visitors.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for wedding parties, company groups, clubs and other larger parties, with seating for up to 48 people.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when you carry bulky luggage such as strollers, golf bags or musical instruments.

About Helecine as a Destination

Helecine is a small, quiet municipality in the Walloon Brabant province of Belgium, surrounded by farmland and villages. It is best known for the provincial estate of Helecine, with its park and the historic Heylissem Abbey. Visitors usually come for the countryside, for events at the estate or to see family and friends in the area. Because the area is rural, it is worth giving your driver the full street address of your destination before you travel, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
