Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wattrelos

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wattrelos

The transfer covers 122 km (76 miles) and typically takes 1 h 26 m. You leave the airport area, cross Belgium towards the French border and arrive in the northern part of the Lille metropolitan area. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, as traffic around Brussels and on the approach to the border can slow the journey. A private transfer saves you from planning connections with luggage, which suits a destination outside the main tourist routes.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suitable for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, a good choice for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: for team trips, wedding parties and medium-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, school parties and organised events, with everyone arriving together.

About Wattrelos

Wattrelos is a town in the Nord department of northern France, right on the Belgian border. It lies next to Roubaix and Tourcoing and belongs to the wider Lille metropolitan area. It is mainly a residential and former textile town, so most visitors come to see family, to do business in the region or to use it as a base for exploring the Lille area. Because it sits so close to the border, the final stretch of the trip is short once you reach the French side.
