Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rhisnes

The drive from Brussels Airport to Rhisnes

Rhisnes lies 60 km (38 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 44 minutes. The route leaves the airport area, joins the Brussels ring road and continues south-east towards Namur. The ring is the part most likely to slow you down. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, and on Friday evenings, it is worth allowing extra time, especially if you have a tight appointment or a train to catch after arrival.

The transfer is private and runs door to door, so you do not need to plan around timetables or carry luggage between connections. Rhisnes is a less frequently booked destination, but it is available on request like any other route.

Meeting point at the airport

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

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on group size and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a fourth seat for slightly larger parties.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats suits groups of up to 8 with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats cover mid-sized groups, such as business delegations or wedding guests.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats are for large parties, tour groups and event transport.

If your group sits close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up for comfort and luggage space.

About Rhisnes and where to stay nearby

Rhisnes is a village in the municipality of La Bruyère, in the province of Namur in Wallonia. It is a quiet, largely residential place in open countryside just north of the provincial capital. Most visitors come for business in the Namur area, to see family, or to use it as a calmer base than the city.

I cannot confidently name long-established hotels in Rhisnes itself, so here are well-known options in nearby Namur, which is the closest larger town:

• Château de Namur, a hotel in a historic building near the Citadel.
• Hôtel Les Tanneurs, set in a converted former tannery in the old town.
• Hôtel Beauregard, a traditional hotel on the banks of the Meuse.

Give your driver the exact address when you book, since village streets can be hard to find on a first visit.
