Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hostel Bruegel, Brussels

The drive from Zaventem to Hostel Bruegel

The route covers 15 km (10 miles) and normally takes about 25 minutes. You leave the airport area and head into the city centre, where the streets get busier and slower. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the times when traffic can stretch the journey, so allow some extra margin if you have a tight check-in or onward plan. Hostel Bruegel is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, and your driver goes door to door.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families usually fit well in a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Hostels often host school classes, sports teams and friends travelling together, so larger groups are well covered too. A Private Minibus with 8 Seats suits a group of friends with luggage, and the 16 and 24 seat minibuses work for bigger parties. For large tours and school trips, minibuses with 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available, so a whole group can arrive together in one vehicle.
