Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thon Residence Parnasse, Brussels

The drive from BRU to Thon Residence Parnasse

The route covers 14 km (9 miles) between Brussels Zaventem Airport and central Brussels. It typically takes about 20 minutes. This is an occasionally booked route, so a pre-arranged transfer is a simple way to avoid working out the way on arrival. Traffic on the roads into Brussels builds up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have an early meeting or a tight onward connection, allow extra time in those periods.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so check the luggage you are bringing against the group size. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Minibuses suit business delegations, school trips, wedding parties and conference groups arriving on the same flight. Pick a vehicle with a little spare capacity if you are travelling with bulky bags or sports equipment.
