Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Marchovelette

The drive from Zaventem to Marchovelette

The route covers 66 km (41 miles) and usually takes about 47 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorway heading southeast from the airport, followed by quieter local roads into the Walloon countryside. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring can add noticeable delays, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a train connection or an event at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits wedding guests, business groups or relatives travelling together with plenty of luggage. Pick the size according to your total headcount and bags, not just the number of people.

About Marchovelette

Marchovelette is a small village in the municipality of Fernelmont, in the province of Namur in Wallonia. The surroundings are rural, with farmland and quiet roads rather than large tourist sights. Because it is a small place, it is worth having the exact street address ready for your driver.

Places to stay nearby

Marchovelette itself is very small, so most visitors look to Namur, the provincial capital and the nearest larger town, for accommodation. Well-established options there include Hôtel Les Tanneurs, set in a converted historic building in the old town, and the Château de Namur, a hotel located up on the citadel hill. Both make a practical base if your plans in the area are not tied to one address in the village.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to Java Coffee House, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign, so you can spot them straight away.
