Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lamain

The drive from Brussels Airport to Lamain

The transfer covers 406 km (253 miles) and typically takes 4 h 15 m by road. Lamain is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. With a journey of more than four hours, it helps to plan for some flexibility. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels, roadworks and bad weather can all add time, so avoid scheduling a tight appointment right after arrival. If you are travelling with children or a larger group, tell the driver if you would like a short break along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match both your group size and your luggage. For small parties there are two private taxi options:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers
• Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers

Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Families with several suitcases, or teams travelling with sports and event equipment, are usually more comfortable in the next size up. On a drive of this length, extra space makes a real difference.

Lamain and where to stay nearby

Lamain is a small village in the Walloon part of Belgium and belongs to the municipality of Tournai. It is a quiet, rural place rather than a sightseeing hub, so most visitors come to see family or friends, or to explore the surrounding countryside. For accommodation, the nearest well-known choice is the town of Tournai, whose hotels include the Hôtel Cathédrale and the Mercure Tournai. Tournai is also known for its large cathedral and its historic centre, which makes it a useful base if you want to see more of the area.

Meeting point at Brussels Airport

After collecting your luggage, go to Java Coffee House, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign. You can then head to the car together and start the journey to Lamain.
