Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Liernu

The drive from Brussels Airport to Liernu

Liernu lies 55 km (35 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 40 minutes. The route heads south-west out of the Brussels area into the Walloon countryside of the province of Namur. Allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush, when the Brussels ring road and the main motorways can slow down considerably. Bad weather in winter can also add to the journey. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so pick the second if you travel with four people and want room for luggage. Larger parties, such as wedding guests, business groups or extended family, can book a private minibus. Minibuses come with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so the whole group can arrive together in one vehicle. If you have a lot of suitcases, it is worth choosing the next size up.

Liernu and where to stay nearby

Liernu is a small rural village in the municipality of Éghezée, in the Walloon province of Namur. It is a quiet place surrounded by farmland, and visitors usually come to see friends or family, or for a stay in the countryside, rather than for sightseeing. Accommodation in the village itself is very limited, so if you need a hotel, the nearest larger city with well-established options is Namur, the capital of Wallonia. There you will find Hôtel Les Tanneurs, a well-known hotel in the old town, and the Château de Namur, a hotel set in a historic castle above the city. Both are a short drive from Liernu, so you can arrange your transfer to either of them or to your final address in the village.
