Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Pentahotel Brussels City Centre

The drive from Zaventem into the city

The route covers 16 km (10 miles) and usually takes about 24 minutes. Most of the journey runs along the motorway towards Brussels before it joins city streets. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest periods on the approach roads, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight schedule after arriving. Roadworks in the city can also add a few minutes.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without any searching around the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so choose the larger one if you carry extra bags. Groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, which suits business delegations, tour parties and wedding guests who want to arrive together. Pick the size by the number of people and by how much luggage you have.

Arriving at Pentahotel Brussels City Centre

Pentahotel is a modern, business-friendly hotel brand, and this property serves visitors who want to be in Brussels itself rather than near the airport. A transfer takes you straight to the hotel entrance, which saves you from carrying luggage through the city or working out connections after a flight. It is useful to have the hotel name and your booking details ready on your phone in case the driver needs to confirm the drop-off point.
