Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lessines

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Lessines

The transfer covers 74 km (46 miles) and typically takes 53 minutes. The route leads west from Zaventem, across the Brussels region and on into the province of Hainaut. Lessines is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Traffic around the Brussels ring road is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have an appointment or a fixed check-in slot at the other end. Rain and roadworks can also stretch a journey, and a small buffer makes the arrival far less stressful.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

The vehicle you need depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to individual travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams and company outings.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for large tour groups, school trips and event delegations arriving together.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their bags.

About Lessines

Lessines is a small town in Hainaut, in the French-speaking part of Belgium, set on the river Dendre. It is known for its historic hospital, the Hôpital Notre-Dame à la Rose, founded in the 13th century, and for its long tradition of porphyry quarrying. The painter René Magritte was born here in 1898. The town has a quiet, local character, which makes a direct private transfer a convenient way to arrive. It saves you from planning around regional connections after a flight.
