Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Overath

The drive from Brussels Airport to Overath

The transfer covers 237 km (148 miles) and usually takes about 2 h 35 m. The route leaves Belgium, crosses the border into Germany and continues towards the Cologne region, so you travel door to door without any changes. Overath 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 morning or evening rush hour, since traffic around Brussels and Cologne can slow the journey. Heavy rain or roadworks can do the same.

Which vehicle fits your group

A Private Taxi suits one to four passengers with normal luggage. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. The 8-seater works well for a family or a small business team with bags. The 16- and 24-seat minibuses suit sports clubs, school trips and company groups. The 32-, 40- and 48-seat vehicles cover bigger delegations and tour parties that want to travel together. With a journey of this length, pick a vehicle that gives everyone room for their luggage.

Overath and where to stay nearby

Overath is a town in the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, east of Cologne, in the hilly Bergisches Land. It is a green, quiet place and a good base for walks and for trips into Cologne. I could not name long-established hotels in Overath itself with confidence, so here are two well-known options in the nearest larger town, Bergisch Gladbach:

• Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, a castle hotel in the Bensberg district
• Hotel Gronauer Tannenhof
