Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Katwijk

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Katwijk

The route covers 184 km (115 miles) and usually takes around 2 h 3 m. It leads north from Zaventem across the Belgian border and on into South Holland, finishing on the North Sea coast. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, when the roads around Brussels, Antwerp and the Rotterdam and The Hague area can slow down. Summer weekends can also bring more traffic towards the Dutch coast. If you have a fixed check-in, a dinner reservation or a conference start, it is sensible to plan a little buffer on top of the usual driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, small families or solo travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with four people and luggage.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: suits a larger family or a small team with bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for business groups, clubs and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: cover tour groups, school trips and event delegations of up to 48 people.

On a drive of more than two hours, a bit of spare room for luggage and legroom makes a real difference, so choose a vehicle with some space left over.

Katwijk and Where to Stay

Katwijk, also known as Katwijk aan Zee, is a seaside town in South Holland. It lies where the Oude Rijn reaches the North Sea, close to Leiden. Its wide sandy beach and dunes make it a popular spot for walks, cycling and a break by the sea.

I could not confirm specific long-established hotels in Katwijk itself. For well-known places to stay, the neighbouring coastal town of Noordwijk is a short distance away:

• Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin: a historic seafront hotel in Noordwijk.
• Alexander Hotel Noordwijk: a established hotel close to the beach in Noordwijk.
