Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Stolberg

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Stolberg

Stolberg lies 147 km (92 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 43 m. The route heads east across Belgium and over the border into Germany. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in heavy traffic or bad weather, as the journey can then take longer than usual.

About Stolberg

Stolberg is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, right next to Aachen and close to the Belgian and Dutch borders. It is often called the "Kupferstadt" (copper town) because of its history of copper working, and its old centre is dominated by a hilltop castle. The surrounding Eifel countryside makes it a good base for walks and day trips.
