Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Joris-Weert

The drive from BRU to Sint-Joris-Weert

The route covers 27 km (17 miles) and typically takes around 28 minutes. It leads south-east from Zaventem towards the Leuven area, so most of the trip is on motorway before you reach quieter local roads. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. This is an occasionally booked route, and a private transfer takes the guesswork out of reaching a village that is not on a main travel corridor.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Larger parties with suitcases are better off in a minibus. The range starts at 8 seats and goes up to 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats, which suits wedding guests, company groups, school trips and sports teams alike. If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, pick the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

About Sint-Joris-Weert

Sint-Joris-Weert is a small village in the municipality of Oud-Heverlee in Flemish Brabant, just south of Leuven. It is a green, rural area, popular with walkers and cyclists because of the woodland nearby. Expect a calm setting rather than a busy town centre, so it is worth confirming your exact address before you travel.

Where to stay near Sint-Joris-Weert

Sint-Joris-Weert itself is very small, so most visitors who need a hotel base themselves in nearby Leuven. Two well-known options there are:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted convent close to the historic centre.
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a larger international hotel in the town centre.

If you are staying at a private address or a local guesthouse in the village, simply give the driver the full address when booking.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.
