Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lommel

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Lommel

Lommel is 109 km (68 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes 1 h 18 m. The route heads east and north-east towards Limburg province, so you leave the Brussels area behind fairly quickly. This is an occasionally booked route, which makes a pre-arranged private transfer a sensible choice over improvising on arrival.

Timing and Traffic

The quoted time is typical, not guaranteed. Weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and on the main motorways can add time, so allow a buffer if you have a fixed appointment or check-in deadline in Lommel. Heavy rain or roadworks can also slow the journey, and your driver will pick the best route on the day.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

For small parties, a private taxi is available for either 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits solo travellers, couples and families with standard luggage. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That range covers everything from a few colleagues travelling together to a full coach-sized party heading for an event or group holiday. Pick the size that leaves room for luggage as well as people.

Lommel as a Destination

Lommel lies in the Limburg province in the north-east of Belgium, close to the Dutch border. It sits in the Kempen region, known for sandy heathland, pine forests and cycling routes. The town is also known for the Lommel Sahara, a stretch of sand dunes, and for its large German war cemetery. It is a calm contrast to the capital region you leave at the airport.

Meeting Point
