Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Tournai

The Drive from BRU to Tournai

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and typically takes 1 h 10 m. You head south-west across Belgium, mostly on motorway, so the journey is straightforward. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can add time, so allow a little extra if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure. This is an occasionally booked route, and the transfer is arranged privately for your party only.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there once you are through baggage reclaim.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers and couples fit comfortably in a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers, while a family or a group with more bags can choose the 1-4 passenger taxi. Larger parties can book a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That range suits anything from a business delegation to a wedding party or a coach-sized tour group heading for Tournai.

Tournai at a Glance

Tournai lies on the River Scheldt and is one of the oldest cities in Belgium. Its Romanesque-Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral and its belfry are both UNESCO World Heritage sites. The compact centre, with the Grand-Place at its heart, is easy to explore on foot.

Where to Stay in Tournai

Two well-known options in the city are the Hôtel Cathédrale, close to the cathedral quarter, and the Mercure Tournai. Both are practical bases for visiting the old town.

Public Transport Option

If you prefer public transport, one scheduled connection exists:

• Train to Brussels-Midi, then train to Tournai, 1 change required, approx. 90–110 minutes total

A private transfer avoids the change and the walk with luggage between platforms.
