Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nederzwalm-Hermelgem

The drive from Brussels Airport

Nederzwalm-Hermelgem lies 68 km (42 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey usually takes around 54 minutes. The route leaves the airport area, joins the Brussels ring and continues west towards East Flanders. Because the first part runs close to the capital, traffic can add time during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra margin if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make at the other end. Outside those periods the trip tends to be smooth, and the final stretch on smaller roads is quiet.

Meeting point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly after baggage reclaim.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-seat option gives a little more room for families or for travellers with a few extra bags. For larger parties there is a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats for a group of friends or a larger family
• 16 and 24 seats for company teams, wedding guests or small tour groups
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for big events, school trips and organised group travel

This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request in every vehicle category, so you can choose the one that matches your group size and luggage.

About Nederzwalm-Hermelgem

Nederzwalm-Hermelgem is a small village in the municipality of Zwalm, in East Flanders. It sits in a rural, green setting close to the Flemish Ardennes, an area known for gentle hills, cycling routes and walking paths. It is a quiet place rather than a busy tourist centre, so for restaurants, shops and services you may find yourself using nearby towns. For that reason, it helps to have the exact address of your destination ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
