Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Trier

The drive from Brussels Airport to Trier

Trier lies 271 km (169 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 3 h 11 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Since it is a long ride, build some buffer into your plans if you have a fixed appointment, a hotel check-in or a dinner reservation. Heavy traffic around Brussels at rush hour or on busy holiday weekends can add to the journey. A private transfer lets you sit back after landing instead of juggling several connections with luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to couples, families or business travellers.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, for larger families or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: 1-16 or 1-24 passengers, practical for tour groups, clubs and conference delegations.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: 1-32, 1-40 or 1-48 passengers, for big groups travelling together on one vehicle.

On a drive of over three hours, a little extra space is welcome, so choose the next size up if your group carries a lot of luggage.

Trier and Where to Stay

Trier sits in the Moselle valley close to the Luxembourg border and is often described as one of the oldest cities in Germany. Its Roman heritage is the main draw: the Porta Nigra, the Roman baths and the amphitheatre are all part of the UNESCO-listed monuments. The compact old town is easy to explore on foot, and the surrounding wine region adds to its appeal.

Well-known places to stay in Trier include:

• Hotel Römischer Kaiser: a long-established hotel in the centre, close to the Porta Nigra.
• Dorint Hotel Porta Nigra: a larger hotel in the city centre near the Roman gate.
• Park Plaza Trier: a modern hotel in the centre of the city.
