Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Jemelle

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Jemelle

The route covers 115 km (72 miles) and typically takes 1 h 17 m. Most of it is motorway driving south-east from Zaventem towards the Ardennes, followed by a short stretch on regional roads into the Lesse valley. Jemelle is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush around Brussels, or on Friday and Sunday evenings when weekend traffic is heavier. In winter, snow or fog on higher Ardennes roads can also slow the last part of the journey.

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, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 or 32 Seats: practical for tour parties, clubs, and wedding or event guests.
• Private Minibus 40 or 48 Seats: intended for large groups that want to travel together in one vehicle.

If you have skis, bikes, or other bulky equipment, pick the next size up so everything fits comfortably.
