Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hoogstraten

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Hoogstraten

Hoogstraten lies 79 km (49 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 55 minutes. The route heads north towards the province of Antwerp, so it is mostly a motorway journey followed by a short stretch on regional roads. Traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can build up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a dinner reservation on arrival. This route is booked less often than the big-city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the trip around your arrival time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties can travel in a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. This suits couples, families and business travellers with a normal amount of luggage. For larger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They work well for wedding guests, sports teams, company outings and school or club trips heading to Hoogstraten together. If you travel with a lot of suitcases or sports equipment, pick the next size up so everyone has room to sit comfortably.

About Hoogstraten

Hoogstraten is a small Flemish town in the north of the province of Antwerp, close to the Dutch border. It is known for its historic centre and the large Sint-Catharinakerk, as well as for the strawberries and other produce grown in the surrounding countryside. The area is quiet and green, with plenty of cycling routes, which makes it popular for relaxed weekends and family visits. Because it is not on a main rail line from the airport, a direct private transfer is often the simplest way to arrive.
