Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Melen

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Melen

Melen lies 106 km (66 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 6 m. The route runs east across Belgium, so it is a straightforward trip by road with a single driver and no changes along the way. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush around Brussels, and on days with bad weather, as the first stretch near the capital is where delays tend to build up. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the journey is planned around your arrival time.

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing. For small parties there are two private taxi options:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a little more room for a group of four.

Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That range covers everything from a family reunion or a business team to a wedding party or a full coach-sized group, all travelling together to Melen in one vehicle. If you are carrying bulky luggage or sports equipment, it is worth choosing the next size up for comfort.

About Melen

Melen is a small village in the Liège area of eastern Belgium, in the French-speaking region of Wallonia. The surrounding countryside is green and gently hilly, and the place is quiet and mostly residential. Because it is a small village, a private transfer with a door-to-door drop-off is often the simplest way to arrive, and it saves you from working out local connections after a flight. Have the exact street address ready when you book so the driver can take you straight to the right door.
