Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Amands

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sint-Amands

Sint-Amands lies 38 km (24 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 35 minutes. The route heads out of the airport area and across the Flemish countryside towards the Scheldt. Sint-Amands is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down at morning and evening rush hours, so it is worth allowing some extra time if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with a lot of luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding guests, company groups and club trips, and everyone arrives together instead of splitting across several cars. If your group sits between two sizes, choose the bigger vehicle so there is room for bags.

About Sint-Amands

Sint-Amands is a small, quiet village on the banks of the river Scheldt in the province of Antwerp, and it is now part of the municipality of Puurs-Sint-Amands. It is best known as the place connected with the Belgian poet Émile Verhaeren, who is buried here. The surroundings are flat and green, with river views and a calm, rural feel that contrasts with the busy airport you are leaving behind. Visitors usually come for the riverside walks, cycling and local visits rather than for large-scale sightseeing.
