Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mellery

The drive from Brussels Zaventem to Mellery

Mellery lies 47 km (29 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 40 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and heads south through Walloon Brabant, so the journey ends in quieter countryside than it starts. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or evening rush, when traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add a few minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

Mellery is a small place, and most arrivals are couples, families or small business parties. For those groups a private taxi is the natural fit, with one option for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4. If you travel with several suitcases, the 4-passenger taxi gives you more room to spread out.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: larger families or friends travelling together with luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: wedding guests, club outings and company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: big events, tour groups and organised trips where everyone should arrive together.

This route is booked less often than the main Brussels connections, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

About Mellery

Mellery is a rural village in the Walloon Brabant province of Wallonia, in the municipality of Villers-la-Ville. The area is mostly farmland, fields and quiet lanes. It suits visitors who want a calm base away from the capital. The ruins of Villers Abbey, one of the best-known historic sites in the region, are nearby in the same municipality. Since Mellery is a village, it is worth confirming your exact address with your host before travelling, so the driver can take you to the right door.
