Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Veldwezelt

The drive from Brussels Airport to Veldwezelt

The route covers 102 km (64 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 9 m. It leads east from Zaventem into the province of Limburg, close to the Dutch border. This is a route booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest, and in poor weather. If you have a fixed appointment at the other end, plan a small buffer.

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 meet your driver without a long search.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version takes 1-3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. The 8-seater suits a family with extra luggage. The 16- and 24-seaters fit wedding guests or a team on a company trip. The 32-, 40- and 48-seat vehicles cover tour groups and bigger events. Pick the size by passengers and bags together, since a full car leaves little room for suitcases.

Veldwezelt and where to stay nearby

Veldwezelt is a village in the municipality of Lanaken, in Belgian Limburg. The area is green and quiet, and the Dutch city of Maastricht lies just across the border. I can't name hotels in Veldwezelt with confidence, so here are well-known ones in nearby Maastricht:

• Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, a hotel in a former monastery in the city centre
• Hotel Derlon, a long-established hotel in the centre, built over Roman remains
• Grand Hotel de l'Empereur, a classic hotel in the old town

Give your driver the exact address when you book, whether it is in Veldwezelt or in the surrounding area, so the route is planned correctly from the start.
