Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Spa

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU), holding a sign with your name on it. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Spa

The journey covers 134 km (84 miles) and typically takes 1 h 26 m. You leave the Zaventem area and head east, and the last part of the trip runs through the hills of the Ardennes. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels. Winter weather in the higher Ardennes can slow the final stretch too. If your trip coincides with a race weekend at the nearby Spa-Francorchamps circuit, expect busier roads around the town.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a larger family or a group of friends with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: work well for tour groups, wedding parties and company outings.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: cover the largest groups, such as club trips or event delegations, in one vehicle.

Spa is only an occasionally booked route, so it is worth reserving ahead, especially for bigger groups.

Spa as a Destination

Spa is a small town in the province of Liège, and it gave its name to spas worldwide. It is known for its mineral springs, its thermal baths and the wooded hills around it. Many visitors come for a relaxing break, for walks in the Ardennes, or for motorsport at Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian Grand Prix.

Places to Stay in Spa

Spa has several long-established hotels. The Radisson Blu Palace Hotel is a large hotel in the town centre, and the Hotel Balmoral is a well-known address on a quiet hillside above the town. The Manoir de Lébioles is a country-style hotel in the hills just outside Spa. Tell us the name of your hotel when booking and your driver will take you to the door.
