Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ramegnies

The drive from Brussels Airport to Ramegnies

Ramegnies lies 105 km (66 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 1 h 13 m. The route heads southwest across Belgium into the province of Hainaut. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, since the first stretch out of the capital region is where delays most often build up. Bad weather can also slow things down, so do not plan a tight connection right after arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families fit well in a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Check the passenger limit against your luggage as well as your group size. For larger parties, minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit wedding guests, sports teams, business groups and family gatherings who want to arrive together in one vehicle.

Ramegnies and where to stay

Ramegnies, known as Ramegnies-Chin, is a quiet village in the municipality of Tournai in western Hainaut, close to the French border. It is a rural, residential place with little tourist infrastructure of its own, so most visitors stay in nearby Tournai, one of Belgium's oldest cities.

• Mercure Tournai, a well-known hotel in the city centre.
• Hôtel Cathédrale, a long-established hotel close to Tournai's cathedral.

Tournai is also known for its Romanesque and Gothic cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, so it makes a practical base if you want to see the area.
