Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nijmegen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Nijmegen

The route covers 195 km (122 miles) and typically takes 2 h 10 m. It leaves Belgium northwards and crosses the border into the Netherlands before reaching Nijmegen in the province of Gelderland. Nijmegen is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, as the motorways around Brussels and Antwerp and the Dutch stretches near Breda and Den Bosch can slow down. A private transfer means you are not tied to train timetables or connections with luggage in tow.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you have a lot of luggage or are travelling as four, the 4-passenger taxi gives more breathing room. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits business teams, university delegations, sports clubs and family gatherings. Choose the vehicle according to both the number of people and the amount of luggage you are bringing.

Places to stay in Nijmegen

Nijmegen lies on the river Waal and is widely regarded as one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. It is a university city, home to Radboud University, and is well known for the Four Days Marches (Vierdaagse) held every summer. Visitors usually stay in or near the centre, close to the Waal and the old town. Two established options are the Mercure Hotel Nijmegen Centre, a central choice for city breaks and business trips, and the Van der Valk Hotel Nijmegen-Lent, located just across the river from the centre and convenient if you arrive by car. Give your driver the full hotel name or address so the drop-off goes smoothly.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without wandering around the terminal.
