Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Martens-Lierde

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sint-Martens-Lierde

The route covers 61 km (38 miles) and typically takes 1 h 1 m. You leave the airport area at Zaventem and travel through the Brussels region before continuing into the hillier countryside of East Flanders. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other transfer. Traffic around Brussels can build up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight schedule at the other end. Bad weather can also slow the final stretch on smaller country roads.

Choosing the right vehicle

Travellers in small groups can choose a private taxi: one version is for 1-3 passengers and another for 1-4 passengers. If you have a lot of luggage or are travelling as a family, the larger taxi option gives you a little more flexibility. For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This makes the route workable for wedding guests, sports clubs, company groups or extended family gatherings who want to arrive together rather than split across several cars.

• 1-3 or 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: 8-seat minibus
• 9-16 passengers: 16-seat minibus
• 17-48 passengers: minibus with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats

About Sint-Martens-Lierde

Sint-Martens-Lierde is a small village in the municipality of Lierde in East Flanders. The surrounding landscape is rural and gently hilly, which is typical of the Flemish Ardennes region. It is a quiet area rather than a busy tourist centre, and many visitors come to see family, attend events, or enjoy walking and cycling in the countryside. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you right to the door.
