Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zoutleeuw

Meeting Point

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

The Drive to Zoutleeuw

The route covers 58 km (36 miles) and normally takes around 45 minutes. It leads east from the airport into the Flemish countryside of Flemish Brabant. Zoutleeuw is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring and Leuven can slow traffic, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight check-in at your destination.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Families or business travellers with a fair amount of luggage may prefer the 4-passenger option for the extra room. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding parties, company teams, school trips and tour groups heading to Zoutleeuw together, all in one vehicle without splitting up.

About Zoutleeuw

Zoutleeuw (also known as Léau in French) is a small historic town in Flemish Brabant. It is best known for its old town centre and the Gothic Sint-Leonarduskerk, which draws visitors with an interest in architecture and history. The pace is calm, and the town works well as a base for walking and cycling in the surrounding Hageland and Hesbaye region.

Where to Stay Nearby

Zoutleeuw itself is small, so many visitors choose accommodation in Leuven, the nearest larger town, which has a wider range of hotels. Well-known options there include Martin's Klooster, set in a former convent, the Pentahotel Leuven and the Leuven Marriott Hotel. If you are staying in Leuven, tell us the hotel name when you book so the driver can drop you at the right door.
