Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Remscheid

The drive from Brussels Airport to Remscheid

Remscheid lies 243 km (151 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 2 h 33 m. The route leaves Belgium and crosses into Germany, ending in the hills of the Bergisches Land. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, on Friday and Sunday evenings, and in bad weather, since traffic near the big cities along the way can slow the journey. A private transfer gives you a door-to-door ride without luggage handling at connecting stations.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: up to 8 passengers, a good fit for larger families or colleagues travelling with bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: mid-sized groups, delegations and teams.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: large groups, such as tour parties, school trips or company events.

With a lot of luggage, consider the next size up so everyone travels comfortably over a drive of this length.

About Remscheid

Remscheid is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Bergisches Land region. It is long associated with tool-making and metalworking industry. The district of Lennep is the birthplace of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the discoverer of X-rays, and houses the Deutsches Röntgen-Museum. The nearby Müngsten Bridge, which links Remscheid and Solingen, is Germany's highest railway bridge and a popular sight for visitors. The terrain is hilly and green, so the final part of the journey runs through winding town roads rather than flat motorway.
