Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wageningen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wageningen

Wageningen lies 200 km (125 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 2 h 14 m. The route crosses the border into the Netherlands and ends in the province of Gelderland. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours around Brussels, Antwerp and the Dutch motorway network, and on Friday afternoons, when traffic tends to build up in both countries.

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.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is the simplest choice, with one option for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4. Larger parties travel together in a Private Minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group with extra luggage. The 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat versions cover conference delegations, student groups and company outings. Since the trip is long, it helps to pick a vehicle with a little spare room for bags.

Wageningen as a destination

Wageningen is a small city on the Nederrijn, best known for Wageningen University & Research, which focuses on agriculture, food and life sciences. Many visitors come for the university, for conferences or for business with research organisations nearby. The town is also remembered as the place where the German capitulation in the Netherlands was negotiated in May 1945. Its riverside landscape and the nearby Veluwe region make it a pleasant base for walking and cycling.

Places to stay in Wageningen

• Hotel de Wereld is a long-established hotel in the centre of town, closely tied to the 1945 capitulation talks.
• Hotel de Wageningsche Berg sits in a green setting above the Rhine floodplains, a quiet option for visitors to the university and surrounding countryside.

Give your hotel name when you book, so the driver can plan the final stretch of the journey.
