Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hemiksem

The Drive from BRU to Hemiksem

The route covers 44 km (27 miles) and typically takes around 35 minutes. Hemiksem lies south of Antwerp, so the journey runs along the busy motorway corridor between Brussels and Antwerp. This stretch is known for congestion at the usual morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you travel then or have a tight appointment at the other end. Hemiksem is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers, another seats 1-4. Families with several suitcases or business colleagues travelling together may prefer the 8-seat minibus. Larger groups, such as wedding parties, conference delegations or company outings, can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that leaves room for luggage as well as people.

Hemiksem as a Destination

Hemiksem is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, on the banks of the river Scheldt. It is mainly a residential and local-business town, and it is known for the historic Saint Bernard Abbey. Its position next to Antwerp makes it a practical base for visitors with business or family in the area, and the quiet surroundings suit travellers who prefer to stay outside the city centre.

Where to Stay Nearby

Hemiksem itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so visitors usually stay in neighbouring Antwerp, which is close by. Established choices there include:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel Antwerp, near Antwerp-Central station
• Crowne Plaza Antwerp, a large business-oriented hotel

Share the exact address with the driver when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
