Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Neerijse

The drive from BRU to Neerijse

The route covers 24 km (15 miles) and typically takes around 23 minutes. The final stretch goes through quiet Flemish Brabant countryside. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow the first part of the trip, so add a little buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver tracks your arrival rather than leaving you to find your own way.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit: there is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4. If you travel with more luggage or a bigger party, step up to a minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits extended families or colleagues travelling together. The 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat minibuses are meant for wedding parties, company groups, sports teams and other larger gatherings heading to the same address in Neerijse.

About Neerijse

Neerijse is a small village in the municipality of Huldenberg, in Flemish Brabant. It lies in the valley of the Dijle river, in green, rural surroundings between Brussels and Leuven. It is a residential place rather than a tourist hub, so most visitors come to see family, attend an event or visit a local business. It is worth having the exact street address ready for your driver, as village roads can be confusing.

Where to stay near Neerijse

Neerijse itself has very little in the way of well-known hotels. The nearest larger town with an established choice is Leuven, a short drive away. There, Martin's Klooster is a hotel set in a former convent complex, and Hotel La Royale is a long-standing address close to the railway station. Both make a practical base if you want more dining and sightseeing options than the village offers.

Meeting point
