Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lobbes

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Lobbes

Lobbes lies 88 km (55 miles) from Zaventem, and the typical driving time is 1 h 2 m. The route leads from the airport area across to Wallonia, in the direction of Charleroi and the Sambre valley. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

The first part of the trip is the busiest, because traffic around Brussels and on the ring road can slow things down. If you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, allow some extra time, especially when you have to reach an appointment or a connection in Lobbes at a fixed hour. Outside the rush hours, the journey is usually smooth.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with normal luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, clubs, school parties, wedding guests and company outings, with seating for up to 48 passengers.

Choose the vehicle by the number of people in your party, and take your luggage into account when you are close to the upper limit of a category.

About Lobbes
