Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lubbeek

The drive from BRU to Lubbeek

The route covers 40 km (25 miles) and typically takes around 34 minutes. Lubbeek lies in the Flemish Brabant countryside, so the journey leaves the airport zone and heads towards the Leuven area before ending on quieter local roads. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow traffic, so allow some extra time if you have a tight appointment. Lubbeek is an occasionally booked route, and the driver tracks your arrival and plans the trip for you.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry several suitcases. Groups of up to 8 passengers can book the 8-seat minibus. For larger parties such as wedding guests, conference delegates or sports teams, there are minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That way everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

Lubbeek as a destination

Lubbeek is a rural municipality in Flemish Brabant, west of Leuven. It is made up of several villages, including Binkom, Linden and Pellenberg. Visitors usually come for family visits, local events, business in the Leuven region or walks in the surrounding countryside. The area is calm and green, and a pre-booked transfer is a convenient way to get there directly from the airport.

Places to stay near Lubbeek

Lubbeek itself has few large hotels, so many visitors stay in nearby Leuven, the closest bigger town.
