The Drive to Vorst-Forest

The route covers 19 km (12 miles) and usually takes about 28 minutes. From Zaventem you head towards the Brussels ring and then into the southern part of the city. Weekday morning and late afternoon traffic on the ring and the main roads into Brussels can slow things down noticeably, so allow extra time if you have a tight connection or an appointment shortly after arrival. Outside rush hour the trip tends to be smoother. This route is booked only occasionally, which is why a pre-arranged transfer saves you from working out the details on the spot.
