Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maillen

The Drive from BRU to Maillen

The route covers 79 km (49 miles) and typically takes around 52 minutes. Most of the journey runs south from Zaventem towards Wallonia, then leaves the main roads for the quieter country roads of the Namur province. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around the Brussels ring can add time, so allow a margin if you have a tight appointment or a connecting booking at the other end.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Four people with large suitcases may be more comfortable in the 4-passenger car than in a car loaded to its limit. For families with extra luggage, wedding guests or small business groups, the 8-seat minibus gives plenty of room. Larger parties, such as event groups, can book a 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48-seat minibus, so everyone travels together in one vehicle.

About Maillen

Maillen is a small village in the municipality of Assesse, in the province of Namur. It lies in the rural Condroz area of Wallonia, a landscape of farmland, wooded valleys and quiet lanes. Expect a calm setting rather than a busy town centre. It is worth keeping the exact street address to hand, as drivers will go straight to your door.

Where to Stay Near Maillen

Maillen itself is a village, so most well-known hotels are in the nearest larger town, Namur, roughly a half-hour drive away. Established choices there include:

• Hôtel Beauregard, on the banks of the Meuse
• Château de Namur, a hotel set in the grounds of the Citadel area

Check with your host or hotel for the final pickup or drop-off address before you travel.
