Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Swalmen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Swalmen

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Swalmen covers 148 km (92 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 37 m. You leave Belgium and arrive in the Dutch province of Limburg. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours around Brussels, or in heavy rain or on busy holiday weekends, when motorway traffic can slow down. Your driver follows the quickest route on the day.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry bulky suitcases or a child seat. Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for a family or a small business team
• 16 and 24 seats for clubs, tour groups and company outings
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large delegations, school trips and events

Choose the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you bring.

Swalmen as a destination

Swalmen is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg, close to the Maas river and not far from the German border. It belongs to the municipality of Roermond. The setting is green and quiet, with fields, woods and waterways nearby, which suits travellers who want a calmer base than a big city. Roermond is the nearest larger town and is known for its old centre and its shopping.
