Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Les Forges

The drive from Brussels Airport to Les Forges

The route covers 400 km (249 miles) and typically takes 4 h 12 m by road. It is a long transfer, so a private car is a comfortable way to arrive without juggling timetables or luggage. The route is booked less often than the busy city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

The stated driving time assumes normal traffic. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, on busy holiday weekends, or in poor weather. On a journey of this length, plan for a short rest stop as well, especially if you travel with children or older passengers.

Choosing the right vehicle

Small groups are well served by a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you carry bulky suitcases, since a 400 km trip is more pleasant with some spare space.

For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit families travelling together, wedding guests, sports teams, company groups and organised tours. Pick the size by the number of people and the amount of luggage, and leave a little room rather than filling every seat.

About Les Forges

Les Forges is a small place rather than a major tourist hub, so expect a quiet, local setting on arrival. Several villages share this name, so send us the full street address or a pin location when you book. That way the driver heads straight to the right spot at the end of a long drive.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House at Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage.
