Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wijlegem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Wijlegem

The route covers 63 km (39 miles) and typically takes about 59 minutes. It runs from the airport towards the Antwerp area, mostly on motorways. Traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can slow things down during the morning and evening rush hours, so allow extra time if you have a connecting flight, a meeting or a check-in slot. Wijlegem is booked less often than the big city routes, but the transfer is available on request like any other, and your driver will follow the same door-to-door approach.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry a lot of luggage. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits business teams, wedding parties, sports clubs and tour groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle. When you book, count the suitcases as well as the passengers.

About Wijlegem

Wijlegem lies in the Antwerp area of Flanders, in the Dutch-speaking north of Belgium. It is a quiet, largely residential place, and many visitors come here for business, family visits or as a base close to Antwerp. Do not expect a major tourist centre. The appeal is the calm setting combined with easy road access to a large city.

Where to Stay Nearby

Wijlegem itself is small, and I cannot name long-established hotels there with confidence. The nearest major town with well-known hotels is Antwerp, roughly 10 km away. Two long-standing options there are:

• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
