Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zwijndrecht

The Drive from BRU to Zwijndrecht

The transfer covers 47 km (29 miles) and typically takes around 34 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading north towards Antwerp. Zwijndrecht lies on the left bank of the Scheldt, so the final stretch involves the Antwerp road network, where the river crossings can slow down at rush hour. If you have a tight connection or an early appointment, allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there straight away and meet your driver without searching.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option leaves a little more room when everyone has a suitcase. Families with extra luggage, or groups of up to 8, can book an 8-seat minibus. For larger parties such as company teams, school trips or wedding guests, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone travels together in one vehicle.

Zwijndrecht as a Destination

Zwijndrecht is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, facing the city of Antwerp across the river. It is a mainly residential and industrial area, which makes it a practical base for business trips to the port region as well as for visiting family. Antwerp's city centre is close by, so a stay here combines easily with sightseeing across the Scheldt.

Places to Stay Nearby

Zwijndrecht itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so most visitors choose accommodation in neighbouring Antwerp. Established options there include:

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