Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Temse

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Temse

Temse lies 42 km (26 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 36 minutes. The route heads west and north-west across Flanders, so you reach the Scheldt valley without going through the centre of Brussels. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic on the Brussels ring and the motorways towards Antwerp can slow things down. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch, build in some extra time. Because Temse is only occasionally booked from the airport, a pre-arranged ride saves you from working out an unfamiliar local connection after landing.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and the amount of luggage you carry.

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): gives a little more room for a fourth person or extra bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): works for larger families or small business groups.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suit teams, wedding parties and organised groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: cover coach-sized groups, such as tour parties or company events.

If you are travelling with bulky items such as sports equipment or several large suitcases, choose the next size up for comfort.

About Temse

Temse is a town in East Flanders, in the Waasland region on the banks of the river Scheldt. It sits between Antwerp and Sint-Niklaas, and a bridge here connects it with the opposite bank of the river. The setting is quiet and mostly residential, with riverside walks and a historic link to boatbuilding along the Scheldt. Most visitors come to see family, to do business in the area or to use Temse as a calm base within reach of Antwerp and Ghent. Give your driver the full street address, since the town has several neighbourhoods and the exact drop-off point matters.
