Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wijchen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wijchen

The route covers 186 km (116 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 59 m by road. You leave Belgium and cross into the Netherlands, ending in the Gelderland region just outside Nijmegen. Wijchen is a less frequently booked destination, but transfers are available on request like on any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, as traffic around the larger cities can slow a long journey like this one.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version takes up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so a family reunion, a wedding party or a company group can all travel together in one vehicle. Because the journey takes close to two hours, it is worth picking a vehicle with some spare room for luggage and legroom rather than the tightest fit.

About Wijchen

Wijchen is a municipality in the province of Gelderland, close to Nijmegen and the rivers Maas and Waal. It combines residential neighbourhoods with green surroundings and is known for its historic castle, Kasteel Wijchen. Many visitors come to see family, to attend business appointments in the Nijmegen area or to explore the quiet countryside nearby.

Where to stay near Wijchen

Wijchen itself is a small place, so many visitors choose accommodation in nearby Nijmegen, the larger town just next to it. Two established options there are the Van der Valk Hotel Nijmegen-Lent and the Mercure Hotel Nijmegen Centre. Both are easy to reach by road, so your driver can take you straight to the door after the transfer.
