The Drive to Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

The trip covers 12 km (8 miles) and typically takes around 14 minutes. This is a regularly booked route, and the journey stays short because Woluwe-Saint-Lambert lies on the eastern side of the Brussels region, not far from the airport. Traffic on the ring road and the main roads into the capital can slow things down during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow a little extra time if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with four people and your bags.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: suits larger families or small groups with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for business delegations, wedding parties and sports teams.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for conference groups, school trips and other large parties travelling together.

About Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

Woluwe-Saint-Lambert is one of the nineteen municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region. It is mostly residential and green, with tree-lined avenues, local shops and the Woluwe Shopping centre. It is also home to the Saint-Luc university hospital and a university medical campus, so many visitors come here for study, work or hospital appointments. The Brussels metro serves the area, which makes onward trips into the city centre straightforward.

Where to Stay Nearby

Woluwe-Saint-Lambert is mainly a residential district, so most of the well-known hotels are in the city of Brussels itself, a short ride further into the capital. Long-established choices there include the Hotel Metropole on Place de Brouckère, a grand hotel dating back to the 19th century, and the Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand Place. Both are easy to reach by road from the airport if your plans include a night in the centre before or after your visit to Woluwe-Saint-Lambert.
