Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Spontin

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Spontin

Spontin lies 83 km (52 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 54 minutes. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues south into the province of Namur, finishing on quieter country roads. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in wintry weather, when the last stretch can be slower.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so you can arrange it in advance whatever the size of your group.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for tour groups, wedding parties, company events and other larger parties, with capacity of up to 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 passengers respectively.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

Spontin and Where to Stay

Spontin is a small village in the municipality of Yvoir, in the province of Namur. It is best known for its historic moated castle, the Château de Spontin, and for the green countryside of the Meuse valley around it. It is a quiet base for walks and short trips rather than a place with a large choice of hotels.

For accommodation, the nearest towns are better served. Near Dinant, the Castel de Pont-à-Lesse is a well-known hotel set in a castle-style building. In Yvoir, the Château de Godinne is an established hotel and restaurant in the Godinne area. Check current availability with each property before you book your transfer.
