Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rheinbach

The drive from Brussels Airport to Rheinbach

The transfer covers 226 km (141 miles) and typically takes 2 h 27 m. The route leaves Belgium by motorway and continues into North Rhine-Westphalia, so you cross an international border on the way. Carry a valid passport or ID card for everyone in the vehicle. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or on busy holiday weekends. Rheinbach is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination.

Meeting Point at Zaventem

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

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi: 1 to 4 passengers, suitable for solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: up to 8 passengers, good for larger families or colleagues with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for tour parties, school groups or teams.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for conferences, large delegations and coach-sized groups.

On a trip of well over two hours, it is worth choosing a vehicle with some spare room rather than a tight fit.

About Rheinbach

Rheinbach is a town in the Rhein-Sieg district of North Rhine-Westphalia, in the countryside southwest of Bonn. It is known for its glassmaking tradition, including a glass museum, and for the remains of its medieval town fortifications. It also has a campus of the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. The old centre is compact and quiet, which suits visitors who want a calmer base near the Rhine region.

Places to stay near Rheinbach

I cannot name specific hotels inside Rheinbach with confidence, so these suggestions are from nearby Bonn, the closest larger city with well-established hotels:

• Hotel Dreesen, a historic hotel on the Rhine in Bad Godesberg, which is part of Bonn.
• Kameha Grand Bonn, a large modern design hotel by the river.
• Hotel Königshof Bonn, a traditional hotel with a Rhine-side location.

If you are staying in Bonn, tell us the hotel address when you book so the driver can plan the final stretch of the route.
