Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ronse

The Drive from Zaventem to Ronse

Ronse lies 94 km (58 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 10 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues into the south of East Flanders. Ronse is only occasionally booked as a destination, so a transfer is a simple way to reach it without planning connections. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels, and in bad weather, as the first part of the trip is the busiest.

Meeting Point

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small groups and couples are best served by a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 4-passenger option gives more room for luggage when you travel as a family.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: wedding parties, sports teams and mid-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: coach-style capacity for large delegations, school trips and events.

Choose a vehicle by passenger count and by how much luggage you carry. If you are unsure, pick the next size up.

Ronse as a Destination

Ronse (Renaix in French) is a town in the Flemish Ardennes, a hilly part of East Flanders close to the Wallonia border. It has a long textile tradition and is known for the Sint-Hermes church and its crypt. The surrounding countryside suits walking and cycling, and the town has a compact centre with cafés and shops within easy reach of each other.

Planning Your Arrival

Have the full street address in Ronse ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the exact door. Because the ride takes more than an hour, it helps to settle any stops or special requests before you set off. The route is the same whether you arrive in the morning or late in the evening, so a private transfer works well for any arrival time.
