Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vlijtingen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Vlijtingen

Vlijtingen lies 101 km (63 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 1 h 6 m. The trip leads east across Belgium towards the Limburg border region. It is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in bad weather, as these can add to the usual journey time. If you have a tight onward commitment, it is sensible to plan a buffer.

Meeting point at the airport

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

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus. Seat counts run in steps from 8 up to 48 passengers:

• 8 or 16 seats: extended families, small business teams or friends travelling with plenty of luggage
• 24 or 32 seats: wedding parties, club trips and mid-sized corporate groups
• 40 or 48 seats: large tour groups, sports teams and event delegations

When you book, count your suitcases as well as your passengers, so that everyone and everything fits comfortably for the 1 h 6 m ride.

Vlijtingen as a destination

Vlijtingen is a small village in the Belgian province of Limburg, part of the municipality of Riemst. It sits in a quiet, rural landscape close to the Dutch border, not far from Maastricht. Visitors typically come to see family, to walk or cycle in the surrounding countryside, or as a calm base for exploring the wider region. Do give your driver the exact street address, because village roads can be easy to confuse on a navigation system.

Places to stay near Vlijtingen

Vlijtingen is a small village and I cannot name hotels there with confidence. The nearest well-known choices are in Maastricht, a short drive across the border in the Netherlands:

• Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, a hotel set in a former monastery
• Hotel Derlon Maastricht, a long-established hotel in the city centre
• Designhotel Maastricht, a design-focused hotel near the old town

If you plan to stay in Maastricht, tell us the hotel name when booking, and the driver will take you to the right door.
