Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Marquain

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Marquain

The journey covers 112 km (70 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. Most of the route runs west across Belgium, away from the capital region. Marquain is not a frequently requested destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. The first stretch around Brussels is the part most affected by traffic, so allow some extra time if your arrival falls in the morning or late afternoon rush hours, or if you have an appointment shortly after landing.

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option leaves more room for a family or a few extra bags. Larger groups can book a private minibus. The choices are:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

For wedding parties, company outings or sports teams, pick the size that matches your headcount, and remember to count luggage as well as people.

Marquain and Where to Stay Nearby

Marquain is a small village in the Tournai area of Hainaut province, in the west of Belgium close to the French border. It is a quiet, rural place, so most visitors choose accommodation in the nearby city of Tournai, which is part of the same municipality and is known for its cathedral and historic centre. I cannot name hotels in Marquain itself with confidence, so these are in Tournai:

• Hôtel Cathédrale, close to the cathedral in the old town
• Mercure Tournai, a well-known chain hotel in the city
• Van der Valk Hotel Tournai, a larger hotel on the edge of the centre

Give your driver the exact address of your hotel or private residence when booking, so the final leg runs smoothly.
