Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kortenaken

The drive from Brussels Airport to Kortenaken

The route covers 59 km (37 miles) and usually takes about 43 minutes. Most of the trip is on main roads out of the Zaventem area, followed by quieter regional roads through the Flemish Brabant countryside. Kortenaken is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven are at their busiest. Bad weather in winter can also slow the final stretch on rural roads.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are versions for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases. Families with extra luggage, friends travelling together, or small business groups can choose the 8-seat minibus.

Larger groups are covered as well. Wedding parties, company outings and club trips can book minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Choose the vehicle by the total number of passengers and bags, and everyone arrives together in a single trip.

About Kortenaken

Kortenaken is a rural municipality in Flemish Brabant, in the Hageland area. It is made up of several small villages surrounded by fields, orchards and gently rolling countryside. It is a calm place, far from the pace of the airport and the capital. Visitors mostly come for family visits, local events, cycling and walking, or a quiet stay in the countryside. Because the villages are spread out, giving your driver the exact address in advance helps ensure a smooth final approach.
