Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Villers-Devant-Orval

The drive from Brussels Airport

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Villers-Devant-Orval covers 183 km (114 miles) and typically takes 2 h 6 m. It leads from the Brussels region down into the far south of Belgium, so it is a proper half-day-style journey rather than a quick hop. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Rush hour around Brussels, roadworks and winter weather can all stretch the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a check-in or a dinner reservation at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Couples, business travellers and families with a few suitcases will find these comfortable for a journey of over two hours. For larger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit family gatherings, wedding parties, pilgrimage or hiking groups and company outings travelling together. When booking, count your luggage as well as your passengers, so that everyone and everything fits without crowding.
