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

The Drive to Sint-Martens-Voeren

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Sint-Martens-Voeren covers 121 km (76 miles) and typically takes 1 h 23 m. You travel east across Flanders towards the far end of Limburg province, where the landscape turns from motorway corridors to rolling countryside. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours around Brussels and Leuven, or on busy Friday afternoons. The last stretch runs on smaller country roads, so a little buffer is sensible if you have a tight onward plan.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit in a private taxi for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Larger parties with suitcases are more comfortable in the 8-seat minibus. For wedding guests, sports clubs or company groups, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle. This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like any other.

Sint-Martens-Voeren and Where to Stay

Sint-Martens-Voeren is a village in the Voeren municipality, a quiet, green corner of Flanders near the borders with Wallonia and the Netherlands. It is known for its hilly farmland and walking and cycling routes rather than for large-scale tourism. Accommodation in the village itself is limited, so many visitors stay in nearby Maastricht, the closest larger city just across the Dutch border. Well-established options there include the Kruisherenhotel, set in a former monastery, as well as Hotel Derlon and the Grand Hotel de l'Empereur. Confirm your exact address with your driver when booking, since the Voeren villages are spread out.
