Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Munsterbilzen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Munsterbilzen

The route covers 99 km (62 miles) and typically takes 1 h 4 m by road. Munsterbilzen lies in the Belgian province of Limburg, so the journey leads east from Zaventem, away from the Brussels ring and across Flanders. Traffic around Brussels is the main variable. On weekday mornings and late afternoons the first part of the trip can be slower, so it is sensible to allow a little extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. A private transfer means one vehicle, one destination and no stops for other passengers.

Meeting point at Brussels 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, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suitable for solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a larger family or a group with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, sports teams, wedding parties and company events travelling together.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up. Everyone then has room for their luggage.

About Munsterbilzen

Munsterbilzen is a village that forms part of the town of Bilzen. It is best known for its history as the site of an old abbey, founded in the early Middle Ages and linked to Saint Landrada. The surroundings are rural, with fields and orchards typical of this part of Limburg. Because it is a small place, it helps to give your driver the full street address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly right to the door.
