Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Retinne

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive to Retinne

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Retinne covers 104 km (65 miles) and typically takes 1 h 8 m. Retinne lies in the province of Liège, so the journey runs eastward across Belgium. Traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip during the morning and evening rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting plan at the other end, add a little buffer. Bad weather in winter can also lengthen the drive.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, which comes in versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Check the luggage you are bringing before you choose the 3-seat or 4-seat option, as space gets tight with large suitcases.

Larger groups can book a private minibus. The options are:

• 8 seats for families or small teams
• 16 and 24 seats for wedding parties, clubs or business groups
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large delegations and event travel

Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request, so it is best to book ahead.

Retinne and Places to Stay

Retinne is a quiet village in the Liège area of Wallonia, part of the municipality of Fléron. It has a residential, semi-rural feel, and the city of Liège is close by. Retinne itself has few well-known hotels, so most visitors stay in nearby Liège. Two established options there are the Crowne Plaza Liège and the Radisson Blu Hotel Liège. Both are familiar names for business and leisure travellers, and either is a short drive from Retinne.
