Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Hilden

The route covers 210 km (131 miles) and typically takes 2 h 28 m. It leads east across Belgium and over the border into North Rhine-Westphalia, finishing in the busy Rhine-Ruhr region. Hilden is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if your trip falls in weekday rush hours. Traffic around Brussels, Aachen, Cologne and Düsseldorf can slow things down, and roadworks or heavy lorry traffic on the motorways can add further minutes. For a fixed appointment on arrival, it is sensible to plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: up to 8 passengers, useful when you travel with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for business groups, clubs and larger families.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for trade fair delegations, tour groups and company events.

On a drive of almost two and a half hours, a little extra space is worth having, so choose the next size up if your group is close to a vehicle's limit.

Hilden and Where to Stay Nearby

Hilden is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, located between Düsseldorf and Solingen. It is a quiet, largely residential place with good road and rail links, which makes it a practical base for visiting companies in the area or the Düsseldorf trade fair grounds.

I cannot name well-known, long-established hotels in Hilden itself with confidence, so here are established options in neighbouring Düsseldorf, a short drive away:

• Breidenbacher Hof, a historic luxury hotel in the city centre.
• Steigenberger Parkhotel Düsseldorf, close to the Königsallee and the Hofgarten park.
• Hilton Düsseldorf, a large business hotel with good access to the city.
