Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Quartes

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Quartes

The route covers 127 km (79 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 25 m. It runs from Zaventem towards the west and south of Belgium, ending in the Hainaut countryside. Quartes is not a frequently requested destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. A private transfer saves you from planning a rural final stretch yourself. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, since the first part of the journey is the busiest. Bad weather can also add some minutes.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: intended for wedding parties, club outings and company groups.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations or event groups travelling together in one vehicle.

If you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or several suitcases, it is worth choosing the next size up for extra space.

Quartes and Where to Stay

Quartes is a small, quiet village in the Hainaut province of Wallonia, within the Tournai area. It is a rural setting of fields and farmland, so visitors usually come to see family, attend a local event or explore the surrounding countryside. There is little in the way of large hotels in the village itself, so most visitors stay in nearby Tournai, the closest larger town. Well-known options there include:

• Mercure Tournai
• Van der Valk Hotel Tournai
• Hôtel Cathédrale

Tournai is known for its historic centre and cathedral, which makes it a convenient base if you want to see more of the region.
