Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wellen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wellen

Wellen lies 89 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 1 hour. The route heads east out of the Brussels area into the province of Limburg. Traffic around the capital can slow things down in the morning and late afternoon, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. This is a route that is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other, and your driver will know the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage are travelling.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 24 Seats: for wedding parties, sports teams or company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, events and organised tours that need to arrive together.

If you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or several large suitcases, choose the next size up for comfort.

About Wellen

Wellen is a small municipality in Belgian Limburg, in the Haspengouw region, an area known for fruit orchards and gently rolling countryside. It is a quiet, rural destination rather than a busy tourist centre. The larger towns of Hasselt, Tongeren and Sint-Truiden are in the surrounding area. A private transfer is a convenient way to get there directly from the airport without planning several connections.
