Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Petit-Lanaye

The drive from Brussels Airport to Petit-Lanaye

Petit-Lanaye lies 113 km (71 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 17 m. The route runs east across Belgium towards the Dutch border, so you travel most of the way on motorway before the last stretch on smaller local roads. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Liège can slow traffic, and bad weather can add time as well. If you have a connection or an appointment at the other end, allow a little extra margin. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the trip in advance.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you have several suitcases or a child seat to bring along.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits an extended family or a few colleagues travelling together. For bigger groups there are minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which keep everyone in one vehicle, for example for a cycling trip, a wedding party or a company event. Count luggage as well as people when you choose, since a full group with large bags needs more space than the seat number alone suggests.

About Petit-Lanaye

Petit-Lanaye is a small riverside village in the province of Liège, part of the municipality of Visé. It sits on the Meuse close to the Dutch border, just a short distance from Maastricht, and the landscape around it is shaped by the river, the canal locks and the wooded slopes of the Saint Peter's Hill area. It is a quiet place, popular with walkers and cyclists following the river, rather than a destination with big sights. If you are heading to a specific address, keep it handy so your driver can navigate the narrow local roads without delay.
