Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center, Brussels

The drive into the city

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center covers 21 km (13 miles) and usually takes about 29 minutes. That is the typical time in normal traffic.

Arriving late in the evening is usually much smoother.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so there is no need to search the terminal.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is the simplest option, with a choice between a 1-3 passenger and a 1-4 passenger car. Larger parties are better served by a Private Minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or a family with bulky bags. Seat counts then rise step by step to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats, which covers school trips, sports teams, tour groups and company events. Pick the size by the number of people and the amount of luggage together, not by passengers alone.
