Book attraktioner-billetter til Zaventem

Zaventem sits just north-east of Brussels in the province of Flemish Brabant, close enough to the capital that the two feel almost continuous along the ring road, yet distinct enough to have its own municipal identity. The commune is best known internationally as the home of Brussels Airport, the principal international gateway into Belgium, which handles tens of millions of passengers each year and has shaped the character of the surrounding area more than almost any other single piece of infrastructure in the country. For most travellers, Zaventem is the first Belgian ground they stand on, and the quality of that first impression matters.

The airport itself occupies a significant footprint between Zaventem and the neighbouring communes of Steenokkerzeel and Machelen, and the logistics of moving between the terminal and central Brussels are a practical concern that dominates the visitor experience here more than culture or cuisine. Brussels city centre lies roughly twelve kilometres to the south-west, and the rail link between Brussels Airport and the capital's main stations is one of the more efficient airport connections in western Europe, running frequently and reaching Brussels-Central, Brussels-Midi, and Brussels-Nord in well under half an hour. That connection is reflected directly in the experiences available through the tickadoo catalogue for Zaventem, where the three bookable products all concern themselves with transfers: a train from Brussels into the airport, the return journey outward, and a coach service linking Charleroi Airport, some sixty kilometres to the south, with Brussels-Midi and the surrounding area.
