Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zwalm

The drive from Brussels Airport to Zwalm

The transfer covers 67 km (42 miles) and typically takes around 52 minutes. The route leads from Zaventem across Flemish Brabant into East Flanders and ends in the countryside around Zwalm. Traffic on the Brussels ring can be heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is wise to allow some extra time if you have an appointment or a connection waiting at the other end. Zwalm is a rural area, and the last part of the trip runs on smaller local roads, so have the full street address ready for your driver.

Choosing the right vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle depends on the size of your group and the amount of luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for wedding parties, sports teams, and company groups.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for big tour groups and events that need everyone in one vehicle.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

About Zwalm

Zwalm is a municipality in East Flanders, on the edge of the Flemish Ardennes. The landscape is gently hilly, with farmland, woods, and the small Zwalm river running through it. Instead of one large centre, the area is made up of several villages and hamlets. It is a quiet region, popular with walkers and cyclists, and a calm contrast to the busy airport you start from.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there from the baggage hall.
