Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Jemappes

The drive from Zaventem to Jemappes

The route covers 82 km (51 miles) and usually takes around 57 minutes. You leave the airport area, join the motorway network around Brussels and continue southwest into the province of Hainaut. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Brussels ring road traffic can slow the first part of the trip, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so add some buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families fit well into a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or a larger party, a private minibus with 8 seats is the next step. For groups, the fleet continues with minibuses of 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats, which suits tour parties, school trips, sports teams or company delegations heading to the Mons area. Tell us the number of passengers and the amount of luggage when you book, and the right vehicle is assigned.

Jemappes and where to stay nearby

Jemappes is a district of the city of Mons in Hainaut, just west of the city centre. It is best known for the Battle of Jemappes in 1792, a notable episode of the French Revolutionary Wars. The area is largely residential and former industrial, so most visitors look for accommodation in neighbouring Mons, which is only a short ride away.

• Mercure Mons Centre Gare in Mons, close to the railway station.
• Infotel Mons, a hotel in Mons used by business and leisure guests.

Share the exact address with your booking so the driver can take you straight to the door.
