Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nethen

The drive from Zaventem to Nethen

Nethen lies 35 km (22 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 32 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and heads south-east through Walloon Brabant, so you move from the busy airport zone to quieter country roads fairly quickly. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down during the morning and evening rush hours, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a connection to make or an appointment soon after landing. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a Private Taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, which is useful when you travel with a few suitcases. Larger families and groups can book a Private Minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties, such as wedding guests, company teams or event groups, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick the size that matches your group and luggage rather than the bare minimum, so everyone travels comfortably.

About Nethen

Nethen is a small village in the municipality of Grez-Doiceau, in the province of Walloon Brabant. It is a rural, residential area with fields and quiet lanes rather than big tourist sights. Visitors usually come to see family or friends, to attend a private event, or to stay somewhere calmer than central Brussels. A door-to-door transfer is practical here, as the village is small and house numbers can be hard to find without local knowledge. Have the full address ready when you book.
