Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Tourpes

The drive from Brussels Airport to Tourpes

Tourpes lies 94 km (58 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 9 m. The route leads you west and south-west out of the Brussels region and into the province of Hainaut. The first stretch around the airport and the Brussels ring is the part most affected by traffic. On weekday mornings and late afternoons it is sensible to allow extra time, especially if you have a connection or appointment waiting at the other end. Once you leave the capital's orbit, the roads become quieter and the landscape turns into open countryside.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so you can arrange it for any arrival time that suits your flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. Travellers with a fair amount of luggage may prefer the larger of the two, as it leaves more room in the cabin and boot.

Larger groups can choose from a range of private minibuses:

• Minibus 8 Seats: for 1-8 passengers, such as a family or a group of friends
• Minibus 16 Seats: for 1-16 passengers
• Minibus 24 Seats: for 1-24 passengers
• Minibus 32 Seats: for 1-32 passengers
• Minibus 40 Seats: for 1-40 passengers
• Minibus 48 Seats: for 1-48 passengers, suitable for wedding parties, school groups or company outings

Pick the vehicle according to both the number of people and the amount of baggage, since a full group with suitcases needs more space than the seat count alone suggests.
