Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Maria-Latem

Meeting Point

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 go straight there and meet your driver without a long search.

The Drive to Sint-Maria-Latem

The route covers 69 km (43 miles) and usually takes about 58 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorways heading west from the airport towards East Flanders, before the final stretch on smaller local roads. Traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, especially during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a tight appointment or a connection to make, it is sensible to allow extra time on weekday mornings and evenings. Bad weather can also add a little to the journey.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, which suits a family or a small group with suitcases. For larger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. A minibus keeps everyone in one vehicle, which is handy for family gatherings, wedding guests, school trips or company outings. Check your passenger and luggage count when you book, and pick the next size up if you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams.

About Sint-Maria-Latem

Sint-Maria-Latem is a small village in the municipality of Zwalm, in East Flanders. The surrounding countryside is rural and gently hilly, on the edge of the Flemish Ardennes, with farmland, fields and quiet lanes rather than busy town streets. Because it is a small place, give your driver the exact street address, or a house name if one applies, before the trip. Local roads can be narrow, and a precise address lets the driver bring you to the door without detours.
