Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Meise

The drive from BRU to Meise

Meise lies 17 km (11 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 15 minutes. The route runs around the northern side of Brussels, where traffic can build up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch, add a little extra time for those periods. This is an occasionally booked route, so it is worth reserving ahead rather than counting on last-minute availability.

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 and come through to the arrivals area.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Groups that travel with a lot of luggage or have more than four people can switch to a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a larger family or a small business party. Bigger groups can choose a 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48-seat minibus, for example for a wedding party, a conference delegation or a school or club trip. Choose the vehicle by passenger count and by how much luggage you bring.

A short note on Meise

Meise is a municipality in Flemish Brabant, just north-west of Brussels. It is best known for the Meise Botanic Garden (Plantentuin Meise), a large garden and research site that includes the Bouchout Castle grounds. The area is mostly residential and green, so it works for visitors to the garden and for people with family or business in the district. Because it is so close to the airport, a road transfer is a quick way to arrive.

Planning your arrival time

Give the driver the full street address in Meise when you book, since the area has many quiet residential roads and the exact drop-off point matters. If your flight is delayed, the driver can adjust to your actual arrival. Allow some time after landing for passport control and baggage reclaim before you head to the meeting point.
