Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sneek

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sneek

The transfer covers 297 km (185 miles) and typically takes 3 h 13 m. The route leaves Zaventem northwards, crosses the Dutch border and continues through the Netherlands towards Friesland. Sneek is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Antwerp and the major Dutch cities, or in bad weather, since the total journey time depends on traffic. Your driver takes you straight to your address in Sneek, with no changes and no waiting for connections.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one option seats up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties travelling with luggage are better off in a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so a business team, a wedding party or a group heading for a sailing weekend can all travel together in one vehicle. On a trip of over three hours, extra space for bags and legroom makes a real difference, so choose the larger size if you are close to a limit.

Sneek as a destination

Sneek is a town in the Dutch province of Friesland, surrounded by lakes and canals and closely tied to water sports. It is known for its sailing, and the Sneekweek regatta draws many visitors each summer. The 17th-century Waterpoort, a town gate standing over the water, is the best-known landmark and sits close to the compact old centre. The Fries Scheepvaart Museum covers the region's maritime history. Because the town is small, it is worth giving your driver the exact street or marina address, so you are dropped as close to your door as possible.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk there directly from baggage reclaim.
