Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Pont-à-Celles

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Pont-à-Celles

Pont-à-Celles lies 57 km (36 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes around 45 minutes. The route leads south from the airport, around or through the Brussels area, and on into Hainaut province. Weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats up to three passengers, another up to four. Groups with more people or more luggage can move to a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For larger parties such as wedding guests, company delegations or sports teams, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats keep everyone in a single vehicle and arriving together. If you are unsure, pick the larger size when you have bulky bags, prams or sports equipment.
