Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Raeren

The drive from Brussels Airport to Raeren

Raeren lies 136 km (85 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 24 m. The journey heads east across Belgium towards the German border, so most of it is on motorway. Raeren is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in heavy rain or winter weather, as these can stretch the trip beyond the usual duration. If you have an onward appointment or a check-in deadline, it is sensible to build in a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage.

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) suit solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats works for larger families or a small business group with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats suit mid-sized groups such as clubs or delegations.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover coach-sized parties, for example tour groups or event guests.

If your group sits right at the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so that everyone has room for luggage.

About Raeren

Raeren is a municipality in the German-speaking Community of eastern Belgium, close to the border with Germany and the city of Aachen. It is a quiet, green area and is best known for its long tradition of stoneware pottery, which is the subject of a local museum. Visitors usually come for the countryside, for walking and cycling in the surrounding Hautes Fagnes region, or for family and business visits in the area. Please give the driver the exact address in advance, as this helps with a smooth drop-off in smaller streets.
