Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thon-Samson

The drive from Brussels Airport to Thon-Samson

The road journey from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thon-Samson covers 75 km (47 miles) and normally takes about 54 minutes. The route leads south-east from the Brussels area into the province of Namur, so you leave the capital's urban sprawl behind fairly quickly. Allow extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest, and in rain, snow or fog.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Your driver takes you directly to your address, which is useful in a rural destination where public options are limited.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a private taxi is the simplest option, with a choice between a car for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases or a child seat.

Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding guests, family reunions, sports teams, company groups or school trips heading to the Namur region together. Pick the size that matches your headcount plus luggage, so everyone travels in one vehicle and arrives together.

About Thon-Samson

Thon-Samson is a small village in the municipality of Andenne, in the Walloon province of Namur. It lies in the green valley of the Samson stream, a quiet area known for its countryside and for the historic castle remains linked to the names Thon and Samson. Expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a busy tourist centre, so it is worth confirming your exact address before you travel.
