Antwerp lies about 45 km from Brussels Airport (Zaventem) — roughly 35–45 minutes by car depending on traffic on the ring. As Belgium's second city, its diamond trade, fashion houses and the second-largest port in Europe pull in a steady stream of business and leisure travellers.
Taxi vs train: which is best?
- Train — frequent connections to Antwerp Central, but with a change and luggage to manage; rush-hour trains are crowded and the timetable rules your morning.
- Private taxi transfer — door to door from any address, fixed price agreed in advance, and ideal when you travel with colleagues, family or a lot of luggage.
For a smooth start, a taxi from Antwerp to Brussels Airport picks you up at your door and tracks your flight — no queues, no stairs, no stress.
