Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sippenaeken

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

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

The Drive to Sippenaeken

The route covers 132 km (83 miles) and typically takes 1 h 27 m. Most of the journey is on motorway heading east, followed by a short stretch on local roads as you approach the German border region. Sippenaeken is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in poor winter weather, since the first part of the trip passes through busy corridors.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties with more luggage can use a private minibus. These come in several sizes:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

Pick the size that leaves room for all bags, especially on a drive of nearly an hour and a half.

About Sippenaeken

Sippenaeken is a small village in eastern Belgium, part of the municipality of Plombières in the province of Liège. It lies close to the borders with Germany and the Netherlands, in a quiet, green landscape of fields and gentle hills. Visitors usually come for the countryside, for walking and cycling, or to combine a stay with trips to nearby border towns.

Where to Stay Nearby

Sippenaeken itself offers very limited accommodation, so many travellers base themselves in Aachen, the nearest larger city, just across the German border. Well-established options there include:

• Pullman Aachen Quellenhof, a long-standing hotel near the city centre and the spa district
• Mercure Hotel Aachen Europaplatz, a practical choice in the city
• Hotel Aquis Grana, close to the cathedral and the old town
