Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Morlanwelz-Mariemont

The drive from Zaventem to Morlanwelz-Mariemont

The route covers 67 km (42 miles) and usually takes about 53 minutes by road. Most of the journey heads south-west across Belgium, away from the airport and past the Brussels region towards Hainaut. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Roadworks and bad weather can also add minutes, which is worth remembering for early-morning arrivals. Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is available on request like any other, so it helps to arrange it ahead of your travel date.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, which gives a little more room for a fourth person and their bags. Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits an extended family or a small business team. The 16-seat and 24-seat options work for tour groups and wedding parties. For bigger gatherings, minibuses with 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. When you book, count everyone in your group and think about oversized luggage such as golf bags, prams or musical instruments, so the vehicle fits comfortably.
