Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lorcé

The drive from Brussels Airport to Lorcé

Lorcé lies 125 km (78 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 18 m. You leave the Brussels area on the motorway network and head south-east towards the Ardennes. The last part of the trip runs on smaller regional roads through wooded hills. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the Brussels morning or evening rush hour. In winter, fog or snow in the Ardennes can also slow the final stretch.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so check which one fits your luggage as well as your group. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. The bigger sizes suit wedding parties, hiking groups, school trips and company outings heading into the Ardennes. Book the size that matches your headcount plus bags, so nobody is squeezed on a trip of more than an hour.

About Lorcé

Lorcé is a small village in the Belgian Ardennes, in the province of Liège and part of the municipality of Stoumont. It sits in the green valley landscape of the Amblève region. Visitors usually come for walking, cycling, quiet country stays and exploring the wider area, which has historical links to the Battle of the Bulge. Expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a busy town centre.

Where to stay near Lorcé

Lorcé itself is very small, so for well-known hotels it is easiest to look at the nearby spa town of Spa. Two long-established addresses there are:

• Radisson Blu Palace Hotel, a large classic hotel in the centre of Spa
• Hôtel Balmoral, a traditional hotel on a wooded hillside above the town

Tell your driver the exact address of your accommodation when you book, so the route can be planned correctly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area of Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.
