Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Strijtem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Strijtem

The route covers 34 km (21 miles) and normally takes around 32 minutes. Strijtem lies west of the airport, so the journey leads you away from the terminal area and out towards the quieter countryside of Flemish Brabant. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Traffic around Brussels is the main variable. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the first part of the trip, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection on the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are two versions, one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so check your luggage as well as your headcount before you choose. Larger parties can book a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or an extended family with suitcases. The 16- and 24-seat minibuses work well for wedding guests or business groups. For bigger events, minibuses with 32, 40 or 48 seats keep everyone in a single vehicle, which makes arrival and timing much easier to manage.

About Strijtem

Strijtem is a small village in the municipality of Roosdaal, in the Pajottenland, the rural area west of Brussels. It is a quiet place of fields, farms and country lanes rather than a tourist centre, so most visitors come to see family, attend a local event or explore the surrounding countryside. A door-to-door transfer is practical here, since you are taken directly to your address and do not need to plan your own connections for the last stretch. Keep the exact street address handy, as small village roads are sometimes hard to find without it.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage. Once you have met, the driver takes you to the vehicle and starts the journey to Strijtem.
