Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Walsbets

The drive from Brussels Airport to Walsbets

Walsbets lies 58 km (36 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey by road typically takes about 38 minutes. That makes it a manageable transfer even after a long flight, with no need to plan around connections or timetables. Walsbets is not one of the most frequently requested destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

The first part of the trip leads away from the busy airport zone and through the Brussels region, where traffic can slow things down. On weekday mornings and late afternoons it is sensible to allow some extra time, particularly if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Outside those hours the drive is usually smooth.

Choosing the right vehicle for your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. Taxis are available for up to 3 passengers or up to 4 passengers, so it is worth checking how much luggage you are bringing when your group is close to the limit.

Larger parties can travel together in a private minibus rather than splitting across several cars. The available sizes are:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

This range suits wedding parties, sports teams, school groups and business delegations. Choose a size that leaves room for suitcases as well as people.

About Walsbets

Walsbets is a small village in the municipality of Hannut, in the province of Liège in Wallonia. It sits in the Hesbaye region, an area known for open farmland and a quiet, rural character. Visitors usually come here to see family or friends, or for business in the surrounding countryside, and the village is a calm place after the bustle of the airport. Because it is a small place, it is worth having your exact address to hand so the driver can take you directly to the door.
