Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mery

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Mery

The journey covers 106 km (66 miles) and typically takes 1 h 9 m by road. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver plans it in advance. Traffic around Brussels can be heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and winter weather can slow the roads further. If you have a tight onward appointment, add a comfortable buffer to the standard travel time.

A private transfer takes you from the terminal to your address in one go, with no changes and no luggage to carry between stations. That is especially useful after a long flight or when you are travelling with children.

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for tour groups, sports teams or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, company events and organised trips that need to stay together.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up. Extra space makes a 1 h 9 m ride more comfortable, particularly with bulky luggage or equipment.

About Mery

Mery is a small village in the province of Liège, in the Ourthe valley and part of the municipality of Esneux. The area is green and hilly, with the river running through it, so it attracts walkers, cyclists and people looking for a quiet stay outside the city. It is a village rather than a large town, so it is worth having your exact address ready and sharing it with the driver when you book. Narrow local roads are common in the region, and a precise destination helps the driver drop you as close to your door as possible.

Arriving from the airport, you travel from the flat landscape around Brussels into the more wooded terrain of eastern Wallonia. Later in the evening or in poor visibility, allow for slightly slower driving on the final stretch.
