Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Stuttgart

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Stuttgart

The journey covers 630 km (392 miles) and typically takes 7 h 13 m by road. The route leads from Zaventem across eastern Belgium and into western Germany before ending in the Neckar valley. A trip of this length is easier in one private vehicle than with several train changes and luggage in tow. Allow extra time on Friday afternoons, at the start and end of school holidays, and wherever roadworks slow the German motorways. A short rest stop is usually sensible on a drive of more than seven hours, and your driver can arrange one along the way.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. For one to four passengers, a private taxi is the natural choice. Larger parties can choose from several minibus sizes:

• 8 seats for families or small groups with extra luggage
• 16 and 24 seats for business delegations, sports teams or wedding guests
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for conference groups, school trips and large tour parties

Over a long distance, a little extra space makes the trip noticeably more comfortable. If you are travelling with bulky luggage, consider the next size up.

Where to Stay in Stuttgart

Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg and the home of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Its car museums, the Schlossplatz and the surrounding vineyards and hills draw both business and leisure visitors. Several long-established hotels sit in the city centre:

• Althoff Hotel am Schlossgarten, a classic address opposite the Schlossgarten park
• Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin, close to the main railway station
• Le Méridien Stuttgart, a central hotel near the Schlossgarten area

Tell us your hotel when you book, and the driver can take you straight to the door.
