Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sankt-Vith

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sankt-Vith

Sankt-Vith lies 167 km (104 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 43 m. The route heads east across Belgium and ends in the quieter, more rural far east of the country. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in wintry weather, when the final stretch through the hills can be slower. A private transfer takes you from the terminal to your door in one go, with no changes and no timetable to follow.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so check your luggage and the number of people before booking. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding parties, sports teams, school trips and company groups travelling together to the area. Pick a vehicle with a little spare room if you carry bulky luggage or equipment.

Sankt-Vith as a destination

Sankt-Vith is a town in the German-speaking part of eastern Belgium, in the province of Liège and close to the German border. It is a well-known base for exploring the Ardennes and the High Fens-Eifel region, and it is popular with walkers and cyclists. The town was heavily damaged in the winter of 1944 and was rebuilt afterwards. Today it is a calm regional centre with shops, restaurants and a compact centre that is easy to explore on foot.

Where to stay in Sankt-Vith

Visitors to Sankt-Vith often choose one of the long-established hotels in the town centre:

• Hotel Pip-Margraff, a traditional family-run hotel with a restaurant.
• Hotel Zur Post, a long-standing hotel near the middle of town.

Give your driver the full name of your accommodation when booking so the drop-off goes smoothly.
