The Drive from Brussels Airport to Tielen

Tielen lies 81 km (50 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the trip usually takes around 55 minutes. The route heads north-east towards the province of Antwerp and ends on smaller local roads in the Campine area. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours. The motorways around Brussels and Antwerp tend to be busiest then, and a slow stretch can add noticeably to the usual journey time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting plan at the other end, it is sensible to build in a buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, teams, wedding parties and company events travelling together in one vehicle.

If your group sits close to the upper limit of a vehicle, choosing the next size up gives everyone more space for luggage.

About Tielen

Tielen is a small village in the Campine (Kempen) region of the province of Antwerp, in the municipality of Kasterlee. The area is known for its quiet countryside of woodland, heath and farmland, and it is a calm contrast to the busy airport area. A transfer by road takes you directly to your address in the village, which is useful because this part of the Campine has limited connections for travellers with luggage.
