Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Polleur

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding 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.

The Drive to Polleur

Polleur lies 125 km (78 miles) from the airport, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 21 m. The route leads east out of the Brussels area towards the province of Liège and finishes in the hills of the Ardennes foothills. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush around Brussels, and in winter, when the higher roads near the end of the trip can be slower after snow or fog. A private transfer takes you door to door, so there is no need to plan around train or bus connections with luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so check the luggage you carry and choose the larger one if you have bulky bags. Groups of five or more can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That covers anything from a family reunion to a larger party travelling together. Polleur is a less frequently booked destination, so please reserve in advance and the transfer will be arranged on request.

Polleur and Where to Stay Nearby

Polleur is a small village in the municipality of Theux, in the province of Liège. It sits in green Ardennes countryside close to the spa town of Spa and the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) nature area, which makes it a base for walking, cycling and quiet getaways. Polleur itself is small, so for a wider choice of hotels many visitors look at nearby Spa, a few kilometres away. Well-established options there include:

• Radisson Blu Palace Hotel, a large, long-standing hotel in the centre of Spa.
• Hôtel Balmoral, a well-known hotel set on the hillside above Spa.

Give your driver the exact address of your accommodation when booking, particularly if it is a countryside guesthouse or holiday home, so the final stretch of the journey goes smoothly.
