Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Seneffe

The drive from Zaventem to Seneffe

Seneffe lies 52 km (33 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 40 minutes. The route leaves the airport area, joins the Brussels ring and continues south-west into Hainaut province. This is an occasionally booked route, so your driver will know the way but may not do it every day. The ring road around Brussels is the main source of delays. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, allow extra time, especially if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Check the luggage you are carrying before you pick the smaller one. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That works well for business delegations, wedding guests, school trips or sports teams who want to arrive together instead of splitting across several cars. Choose the vehicle by the total number of passengers, and go one size up if you have a lot of bags.

Seneffe as a destination

Seneffe is a municipality in the Belgian province of Hainaut, between Brussels and Charleroi. It is best known for the Château de Seneffe, an 18th-century neoclassical estate set in landscaped grounds and home to a museum of goldsmithing. The surroundings are quiet and mostly residential and rural, so a door-to-door transfer is convenient when you are heading to a specific address, event or business visit.
