Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Molenbeek-Wersbeek

The drive from Zaventem to Molenbeek-Wersbeek

The route covers 50 km (31 miles) and typically takes about 39 minutes. You leave the airport area and head east through Flemish Brabant towards the countryside beyond Leuven. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Traffic around the Brussels ring and the Leuven corridor is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment on arrival. Rain or roadworks can also add a few minutes, particularly in winter.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is offered for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, which is worth considering if you travel with four people and a few suitcases. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Choose the size by passenger count and luggage, not by passenger count alone. Wedding parties, company outings and sports teams often need the extra room for bags and equipment. Everyone travels together in one vehicle, so nobody has to coordinate several cars.

About Molenbeek-Wersbeek

Molenbeek-Wersbeek is a small rural village in Flemish Brabant, part of the municipality of Glabbeek. It is quiet, green and spread out, with farmland and country roads around it. Visitors usually come to see family, attend a local event or stay in a peaceful area away from the capital. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver.

Places to stay nearby

Molenbeek-Wersbeek itself has little in the way of large, well-known hotels, so most visitors look at the city of Leuven, the nearest larger city with established accommodation. Two familiar names there are Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a former convent, and the Sheraton Leuven Hotel, close to the city centre. If you are staying in a private home or a local guesthouse in the village, simply give the driver that address.

Meeting Point
