Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sterrebeek

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from BRU to Sterrebeek

Sterrebeek lies only 10 km (6 miles) from the airport, and the typical driving time is about 10 minutes. It is a short hop, so you can be at your door soon after leaving the terminal. Weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels can slow traffic, so allow a little extra time if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. This route is booked only occasionally, so the private service is arranged for you individually.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry several suitcases. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits business teams, wedding parties, school groups or relatives arriving together. Choose by the number of people in your group and the luggage you bring.

Sterrebeek as a Destination

Sterrebeek is a small, mostly residential village in the municipality of Zaventem, in Flemish Brabant. It has a quiet, suburban feel with green surroundings, yet it lies close to both the airport and Brussels. Most visitors come to see family, to attend a business meeting in the area or to stay somewhere calmer than the city centre.

Places to Stay Nearby

I cannot confidently name hotels in Sterrebeek itself, so here are two well-known ones in Zaventem, the municipality it belongs to. The Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel and the Hilton Garden Inn Brussels Airport are both established airport-area hotels that suit an early flight or a late arrival. Check the exact address with your accommodation before you travel, so your driver can take you to the right entrance.
