Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to La Bruyère

The Drive from Brussels Airport to La Bruyère

The route covers 57 km (36 miles) and typically takes around 40 minutes. You leave the Zaventem area and head south-east towards the province of Namur, so the journey is mostly motorway followed by a short stretch on local roads. La Bruyère is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like any other route, and the driver plans the trip specifically for you.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels slows down. A transfer also saves you from a long journey with luggage, because there is no train or bus connection you need to work out for this trip.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. Taxis are available for 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers, so choose the larger one if you carry several suitcases or a child seat.

Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8
• 16 seats for groups of up to 16
• 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats for bigger groups such as wedding parties, company events or family gatherings

Choose the vehicle by passenger count, and remember that heavy luggage may call for the next size up.

La Bruyère and Where to Stay Nearby

La Bruyère is a rural municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia, made up of several villages and surrounded by farmland. It lies between Brussels and Namur, which makes it a quiet base outside the busier cities.

The municipality itself has few large hotels, so many visitors stay in nearby Namur, the provincial capital. Well-established options there include:

• Hôtel Les Tanneurs de Namur, a boutique hotel in the old town
• Novotel Namur, a modern hotel in the city
• Château de Namur, a hotel in a historic setting near the citadel
