Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Opoeteren

The drive from Brussels Airport to Opoeteren

Opoeteren lies 104 km (65 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 10 m. The route heads east through Flanders into the province of Limburg, mostly on motorway, before it switches to smaller local roads for the last stretch into the village. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp's ring roads can slow the first part of the journey, so allow extra time if you land in the early morning or late afternoon. Bad weather in winter can also add some minutes.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, and the trip is a private door-to-door ride with no shared stops.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-seat option gives a little more room when you travel with several suitcases.

Larger parties can choose a minibus:

• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers, such as extended families or small business groups
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats for club trips, wedding guests or company teams
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for large groups, school parties and organised tours heading to the Limburg region

Pick the size based on both passenger count and luggage, since bags take up space too.

About Opoeteren

Opoeteren is a village in the Belgian province of Limburg and forms part of the municipality of Maaseik. It is a quiet, rural place in the Kempen landscape, with woodland, fields and cycling routes nearby. The Dutch border is not far away, and the Maas valley lies to the east.
