Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to La Gleize

The Drive from Brussels Airport to La Gleize

La Gleize lies 137 km (86 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 31 m. The first part of the trip leads across central Belgium, and the last stretch runs through the hills and wooded valleys of the Ardennes, where roads become narrower and more winding. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when snow and ice can slow traffic in the Ardennes. This route is requested less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples and small families fit a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For bigger parties, such as tour groups, history societies or school trips, there are minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size according to both passengers and luggage, because a full group with suitcases needs more space than the seat count alone suggests.

About La Gleize

La Gleize is a small village in the province of Liège, in the Belgian Ardennes. It is best known for its role in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and many visitors come to see the war sites and the museum dedicated to that period. A preserved Royal Tiger tank stands in the village as a reminder of those events. Beyond the history, the surroundings suit walking and quiet countryside stays, so a direct transfer from the airport saves you from planning several connections on the way.
