Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hotel Floris Arlequin Grand Place, Brussels

The Drive into the Centre

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hotel Floris Arlequin Grand Place covers 15 km (10 miles) and usually takes around 26 minutes. Most of the journey is on the motorway into the city, then through the busy streets of the historic centre. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the final stretch, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection or a dinner reservation. Around the Grand Place, many streets are narrow or pedestrian-only, so your driver will stop as close to the hotel as local access rules allow.
