Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Veves

The drive from Zaventem to Veves

Veves lies 97 km (60 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 4 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues south into the province of Namur, where the surroundings become greener and quieter. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan it in advance.

The first part of the trip is the one most likely to cause delays. Weekday mornings and late afternoons around Brussels can be busy, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a check-in or a train to catch at the other end. Bad weather in winter can also slow the final stretch, which runs through smaller rural roads.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, reunions and small tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for coach-sized groups, such as organised tours, school trips or company events.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams, choose the next size up for more comfort.

About Veves

Veves is a small village in the municipality of Houyet, in the province of Namur, in French-speaking Wallonia. It is best known for the Château de Veves, a medieval castle that stands out in the local landscape. The area suits visitors who want a quiet stay in the countryside rather than a city break, with walking routes and the valleys of southern Belgium close by. Because the village is small, it helps to give your driver the exact address of your destination when you book.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.
