Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lanaken

The drive from BRU to Lanaken

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and typically takes 1 h 12 m. Lanaken lies in the east of Belgium, close to the Dutch border, so the journey leads across the country towards Limburg. Morning and evening rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow the first part of the trip, and bad weather can add time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure, plan some extra margin.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families fit comfortably in a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups with luggage can book an 8-seat minibus. For teams, wedding parties or company groups, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick the size by passenger count and by how much luggage you carry, so nobody is squeezed.

Lanaken as a destination

Lanaken is a municipality in Belgian Limburg, set along the Albert Canal and the Maas river, right next to Maastricht in the Netherlands. It is a green, mostly residential area with several villages, and many visitors combine a stay here with trips to Maastricht or the surrounding countryside. A private transfer takes you straight to your address without changes.

Where to stay near Lanaken

Lanaken itself is a small place, so many travellers stay in nearby Maastricht, only a short drive away across the border. Well-known options there include the Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, a hotel in a former monastery, and the Derlon Hotel Maastricht in the historic centre. Tell us the exact address when booking, and the driver can take you directly to the door.

Meeting Point

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