Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Saint-Symphorien

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Saint-Symphorien

The route covers 75 km (47 miles) and normally takes around 54 minutes. You leave the Zaventem area, pass around Brussels and continue south-west into the province of Hainaut. Saint-Symphorien is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, since traffic on the Brussels ring road can slow the first part of the trip. Heavy rain or roadworks can add some minutes too.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without a long search through the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable choice for a group of friends or a larger family with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: work well for clubs, tour groups and company delegations.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: made for large groups that want to travel together in a single vehicle.

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

About Saint-Symphorien

Saint-Symphorien is a small village close to Mons in Wallonia. It is best known for the Saint-Symphorien Military Cemetery, where soldiers from both British and German armies from the First World War are buried. Visitors often combine it with a trip to nearby Mons, and the area is also a practical base for exploring the wider Hainaut region. It is a quiet place, so it is worth confirming your exact address before you travel.
