Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Walcourt

The drive from Brussels Airport to Walcourt

Walcourt lies 93 km (58 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 14 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues south into Wallonia, finishing on regional roads. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon peaks, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest. Roadworks and bad weather can also add minutes, so avoid a tight connection after your transfer.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are best served by a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so check your luggage before you choose. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This makes the route workable for families, wedding guests, company teams, walking groups and club trips. If you are close to a vehicle's limit, choose the next size up so that bags and equipment fit comfortably.

Walcourt as a destination

Walcourt is a small town in the province of Namur in Wallonia. It is best known for the Basilica of Saint Materne, which rises above the town centre and draws pilgrims and visitors. The town is also known for its traditional folk marches, which take place in the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region. The surrounding countryside is green and hilly, and the Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure are in the same part of Belgium. Local services are limited compared with the big cities, so give your driver the exact street address or the name of the place where you are staying.
