Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Longvilly

The drive from Brussels Airport to Longvilly

Longvilly lies 159 km (99 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport. The journey usually takes about 1 h 46 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads south-east into the Belgian Ardennes, where the landscape changes to forest, open fields and small villages. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels. In winter, the higher ground of the Ardennes can bring fog, snow or ice, which may slow the last part of the trip. Your driver knows the roads and will adjust to conditions.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are versions for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and your luggage.

Larger groups, such as battlefield tour parties, wedding guests or school trips, can choose a private minibus. The sizes are:

• 8 seats
• 16 seats
• 24 seats
• 32 seats
• 40 seats
• 48 seats

If you are close to a limit, take the next size up. This leaves room for suitcases and gives everyone space on a trip of nearly two hours.

Longvilly and where to stay nearby

Longvilly is a small village in the municipality of Bastogne, in the province of Luxembourg. It is best known for its place in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and many visitors come to the area for its wartime history and the quiet Ardennes countryside. The village itself is small, so most travellers stay in the nearby town of Bastogne.

In Bastogne, two long-established places to stay are:

• Hôtel Lebrun, a well-known family hotel in the town centre
• Hôtel Melba, a long-standing hotel that is popular with visitors touring the historic sites

Tell your driver the exact address of your accommodation when you book, since some places in the area are on small village roads.
