Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Marbais

The drive from Brussels Airport to Marbais

Marbais lies 49 km (31 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 44 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. The journey leads south from the airport into Walloon Brabant, and the final stretch runs through quieter, more rural roads. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels slows down. Bad weather can also add a few minutes.

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 how much luggage you carry before choosing. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for wedding parties, company teams or family gatherings travelling together to the same address. Everyone arrives in one vehicle, and there is no need to coordinate several cars. When booking, state your exact passenger count and any bulky luggage so the right vehicle is assigned.

Marbais as a destination

Marbais is a small village in Walloon Brabant, part of the municipality of Villers-la-Ville. The area is mostly countryside and quiet residential streets, a calm contrast to the busy airport. The nearby Villers Abbey ruins are one of the best-known sights in the municipality. Because the village is small, give your driver the full street address or a clear pin when you book. This avoids any confusion on arrival, especially for rural addresses.
