Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Saint-Ode

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Saint-Ode

Saint-Ode lies 139 km (87 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 1 h 30 m. The route heads south-east into the Ardennes, so the last stretch runs on quieter regional roads rather than motorway. Allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when the Brussels ring is busiest. Winter weather can also slow things down in the higher parts of the Ardennes, so a little buffer is sensible if you have a connection to make.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which makes a difference when you have several suitcases. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That suits wedding guests, hiking and cycling groups, family reunions and company outings heading to the Ardennes together. Pick the vehicle based on both passenger numbers and luggage, and the whole group arrives together.

Saint-Ode and Where to Stay Nearby

Saint-Ode is a small village in the Belgian Ardennes, in the province of Luxembourg and part of the municipality of Bastogne. It is a quiet, rural place surrounded by woodland and fields, popular with people who want walking, cycling or a break from the city. I cannot name well-known hotels in Saint-Ode itself with confidence, so here are established options in the nearby town of Bastogne:

• Hôtel Collins, a hotel in the centre of Bastogne
• Hôtel Lebrun, a long-running family hotel in Bastogne
