Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Obourg

The drive from Brussels Airport to Obourg

Obourg lies 71 km (44 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU). The journey usually takes around 51 minutes. The route heads south-west from the airport towards Hainaut province. It is a straightforward trip by road, with no need to cross the city centre. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Traffic around the Brussels ring road can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add some buffer time if you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival. Bad weather and roadworks can also stretch the journey.

Choosing the right vehicle

Travellers on their own, couples and small families fit a private taxi. There are options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, and the larger one gives a bit more room for suitcases. Bigger parties are better served by a private minibus. An 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or an extended family, and a 16-seat model works for a team or a small tour party. For larger events, conferences or coach-style travel, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat minibuses are available. When you book, count luggage as well as people so that everything fits comfortably.

About Obourg

Obourg is a district of the city of Mons, in the Walloon province of Hainaut. It has a quieter, more residential character than the historic centre of Mons, which is only a short ride away. The area is known for its chalk deposits and its industrial heritage. A private transfer is a practical way to get here, since it takes you straight to your door without any changes after a flight.
