Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nancy

The drive from Brussels Airport to Nancy

The route covers 225 km (140 miles) and typically takes 2 h 18 m. It crosses Belgium and Luxembourg before entering Lorraine in north-eastern France. Nancy is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other, with a single driver taking you from the terminal to your door. Allow extra time during morning and evening rush hours around Brussels, in heavy holiday traffic, and in bad winter weather. If you have a train, a meeting or a check-in deadline in Nancy, plan a comfortable buffer rather than a tight arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

A Private Taxi suits one to four passengers with normal luggage. Larger groups can choose from a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats for families or small business parties with extra bags
• 16 and 24 seats for tour groups, teams and wedding guests
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for conferences, school trips and large organised groups

Every vehicle is private, so the whole group travels together without stops for other passengers. Choose the size by the number of people and the amount of luggage, and go one step up if you carry bulky items such as sports gear or musical instruments.

Nancy and where to stay

Nancy is the historic capital of Lorraine and is best known for Place Stanislas, the grand 18th-century square listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is also a centre of the Art Nouveau movement, associated with the École de Nancy, and it has a lively university atmosphere. The old town and the main sights are compact enough to explore on foot.

Well-established places to stay include:

• Grand Hôtel de la Reine, a historic hotel right on Place Stanislas
• Hôtel des Prélats, a well-known address close to the railway station and the city centre

Tell the driver the exact hotel name when you book, so the drop-off can be planned in advance. The pedestrian streets around the old town may need a short walk from the nearest access point.

Meeting Point

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