Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hever

The Drive from BRU to Hever

Hever lies 19 km (12 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 19 minutes. The route heads out of the airport area towards the Flemish countryside between Brussels and Mechelen, so it is short and rarely complicated. Traffic around the Brussels ring is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow a little extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight connection. Hever is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit in a private taxi, which is offered for either 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger option if you travel with several suitcases or a child seat. For bigger parties, such as wedding guests, business delegations or sports teams, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that gives everyone room for their luggage as well as themselves, rather than filling every seat.

About Hever

Hever is a quiet village in the municipality of Boortmeerbeek in Flemish Brabant. It sits in green, gently rolling surroundings and is best known for Hever Castle, a moated castle that gives the village its character. Most visitors come to see family, attend events or work with local businesses, and the area feels far calmer than central Brussels. Streets in the village can be narrow, so it helps to give your driver the exact street name and house number before the trip.
