Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Tamines

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Tamines

Tamines is 83 km (52 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey typically takes 1 h 0 m. The road leads south out of the Brussels area and into Wallonia. Traffic around the Brussels ring can slow things down, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a tight appointment or onward connection. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version seats up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. If you travel with several large suitcases, consider the next size up so everyone has room. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8 seats. For groups, events, wedding guests or company outings, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone can arrive together in one vehicle instead of splitting up.

Tamines and Where to Stay

Tamines is a town in the Sambreville municipality, in the province of Namur, set along the river Sambre between Charleroi and Namur. It is a quiet, largely residential destination, and many visitors come here to see family, to work with local businesses or to explore the Sambre valley.

I cannot name well-known hotels in Tamines itself with confidence, so here are established options in nearby Charleroi, the larger city to the west:

• Mercure Charleroi Centre Gare, close to Charleroi-Sud railway station
• Ibis Charleroi Centre, a practical base in the city centre

If you book accommodation in Charleroi or elsewhere in the region, tell us the exact address when you reserve your transfer, and the driver can take you straight to the door from the airport.
