Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hoegaarden

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to Java Coffee House, which is easy to find from the baggage reclaim. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign.

The Drive to Hoegaarden

The route covers 43 km (27 miles) and typically takes about 31 minutes. You leave the airport area, join the motorway network east of Brussels and finish on regional roads through the rolling farmland of Flemish Brabant. Hoegaarden is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around the Brussels ring road can slow things down. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add a few minutes, so avoid planning a very tight connection straight after arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

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

If you carry bulky luggage, choose the next size up for comfort.

Hoegaarden and Where to Stay

Hoegaarden is a small town in Flemish Brabant, best known for its white beer, which takes its name from the town. Its central market square and church make for an easy stroll, and the surrounding countryside suits walking and cycling.

I could not name long-established hotels in Hoegaarden itself with confidence. The nearest larger town with well-known accommodation is Leuven, where you will find:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted historic building
• Park Hotel Leuven, a well-known hotel in the town
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a larger international-brand option

Tell us your exact address when booking, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
