Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wiehl

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wiehl

The transfer covers 262 km (163 miles) and typically takes 2 h 53 m. The route leads east out of Belgium and across the border into North Rhine-Westphalia, so it is a long road journey rather than a quick hop. Wiehl is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or on busy holiday weekends when motorway traffic builds up. A private driver monitors the road, so you will not need to deal with timetables or connections after a long flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi: for 1 to 4 passengers, ideal for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for up to 8 passengers with extra luggage space.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suited to business teams, sports clubs and larger family gatherings.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour groups, conference delegations and school trips travelling together.

On a journey of almost three hours, a little extra space makes a real difference, so choose the larger option if you are in doubt.

About Wiehl

Wiehl is a town in the Oberbergisches Land, east of Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia. The region is hilly and green, with small towns, forests and a quieter pace than the Rhine cities nearby. Wiehl is best known for its stalactite cave, the Tropfsteinhöhle, which attracts visitors from across the area. Many travellers come here to visit business contacts, family or friends, or to enjoy the countryside.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to Java Coffee House, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.
