Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lennik Erasme

The drive from Brussels Airport to Lennik Erasme

The route covers 27 km (17 miles) and normally takes around 24 minutes. Most of the journey runs along the Brussels ring road and its connecting motorways, which are among the busiest in Belgium. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, traffic around the ring can slow things down noticeably, so it is wise to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment, a hospital visit or a connecting journey after arrival. Outside rush hours the trip is usually smooth, and the driver monitors road conditions and picks the best way in.

This is a route that is booked less often than the main city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other, so you can arrange it ahead of your trip without any special steps.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, and the second is useful when you travel with a fourth person or extra bags. For larger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so a family gathering, a delegation or a medical or business group can travel together in one vehicle instead of splitting up. Choose the size according to the number of travellers and the amount of luggage, and pick the next category up if you are close to the limit.

About Lennik Erasme

Lennik is a municipality in Flemish Brabant, southwest of Brussels and at the edge of the Pajottenland countryside. The Erasme part of the name will be familiar to many visitors from the Erasmus Hospital on the Route de Lennik (Lennikse Baan) in Anderlecht. Because the name can refer to a few places in this area, check the exact pickup or drop-off address when you book, so the driver heads straight to the right door.
