Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mariembourg

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Mariembourg

The route covers 112 km (70 miles), and the typical driving time is 1 h 26 m. You leave the Brussels area first and then continue south towards the province of Namur, where the roads become quieter and the landscape more rural. Mariembourg is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request just like any other destination.

Traffic around Brussels is the main variable. If you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, it makes sense to allow some extra time, especially if you have a train, a reservation or an appointment waiting at the other end. Bad weather can also slow the last part of the journey, which runs on smaller regional roads.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice. There are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so choose the larger one if you have bulky suitcases or a child seat to bring along.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: small groups or families with plenty of luggage
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: larger family gatherings, clubs and company teams
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: coach-sized groups such as wedding parties, tour groups or organised events

Pick the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, not just by seats, so that everyone travels comfortably for the full 1 h 26 m.

About Mariembourg

It is best known for its tourist steam railway, the Chemin de fer des Trois Vallées, and for the green, hilly countryside around it. Visitors usually come for the quiet surroundings, walks and the heritage railway rather than for city sightseeing.
