Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zichem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Zichem

Zichem lies 48 km (30 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey by road typically takes about 35 minutes. The route heads out of the Brussels area and into the quieter countryside of Flemish Brabant. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in poor weather, as traffic around Brussels can slow things down. Your driver monitors conditions and picks the most sensible route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, the four-seat option leaves a little more room to spread out.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for extended families or small business groups
• 16 and 24 seats for wedding parties, club outings or conference delegates
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large tour groups and organised events

Every vehicle is private, so you travel directly to your address without sharing the ride with other passengers.

Many visitors come for the neighbouring town of Scherpenheuvel, known for its basilica and as a pilgrimage destination. Zichem itself is a quiet place, so it is worth confirming your exact address with your driver in advance.
