Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rekem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Zaventem to Rekem

Rekem lies 104 km (65 miles) from the airport, and the trip typically takes 1 h 7 m. The route heads east from Brussels towards the province of Limburg and finishes close to the Dutch border. Rekem is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other.

Allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around Brussels and on the main eastbound motorways is heaviest. Roadworks and bad weather can also lengthen the journey, so it is wise to keep some margin if you have a fixed appointment or a dinner reservation.

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, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for wedding parties, sports teams and company outings.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large tour groups, events and conferences.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up when you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or musical instruments.

About Rekem

Visitors usually come for the historic village centre, the riverside and the surrounding countryside, which is popular with walkers and cyclists.

Where to Stay Near Rekem

Rekem itself is small, so many visitors book in Maastricht, the nearest major town just across the Dutch border. Well-established options there include:

• Hotel Derlon, a long-standing hotel in the city centre.
• Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, set in a converted monastery.
• Grand Hotel de l'Empereur, a traditional hotel near the Markt.
