Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lillo

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Lillo

The route covers 65 km (40 miles) and typically takes around 43 minutes. Lillo is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. The journey runs north towards the Antwerp area, where the ring road and the port approaches can slow traffic during weekday rush hours. If you have a ferry, a meeting or a check-in time to keep, allow some extra margin for those periods.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest choice. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which keeps the whole group and its luggage in one vehicle. This suits business teams, wedding guests and tour groups heading for the port area. Pick the size according to both passengers and bags, since suitcases take up space too.

About Lillo

Lillo is a small, quiet polder village in the northern part of the Port of Antwerp area, close to the Dutch border. It forms part of the city of Antwerp and is known for its historic fort and open surroundings, in contrast to the industrial port activity nearby. Expect a peaceful setting rather than a busy tourist centre.

Where to Stay Near Lillo

Lillo itself has very limited accommodation, so most visitors stay in nearby Antwerp, about the closest major city with a wide choice of hotels. Well-established options there include:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre close to Groenplaats
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel Antwerp, near Antwerp-Central station
• Hotel Julien, a boutique hotel in the old town
