Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Merbes-le-Château

The drive to Merbes-le-Château

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Merbes-le-Château covers 84 km (53 miles), and the typical driving time is 1 h 7 m. The journey starts around the busy Brussels area and then continues south towards the Hainaut province. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours or in poor weather, since traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For families with several suitcases or a group of friends, the 8-seat minibus gives more room. Larger parties such as wedding guests, club outings or company groups can choose a minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage, so that nobody has to travel with bags on their lap after a long flight.

About Merbes-le-Château
