Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sandweiler

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Sandweiler

The route covers 226 km (141 miles) and typically takes 2 h 19 m. It runs south-east from Zaventem through Belgium and across the border into Luxembourg. Heavy traffic around Brussels at rush hour, roadworks or bad winter weather can lengthen the journey, so build in a buffer if you have a meeting, a check-in time or a connecting trip. Carry a valid passport or ID card for the border crossing.

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

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 meet up without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you have several suitcases or a child seat. Groups of five or more travel in a private minibus. The sizes are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats, so a business delegation, a sports team or a tour group can all ride together. On a journey of over two hours, extra legroom and luggage space make a real difference.
