Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Aartrijke

The drive from Brussels Airport to Aartrijke

Aartrijke lies 113 km (71 miles) from Zaventem, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 15 m. The route heads west across Flanders towards the Bruges area. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring can add to the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight onward plan. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version seats 1-3 passengers, another seats 1-4 and gives a little more room for luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That suits wedding guests, family gatherings or company groups travelling to the Aartrijke area together. Pick the size by passenger count and by how much luggage you carry.

Aartrijke and where to stay nearby

Aartrijke is a small, rural village in the municipality of Zedelgem in West Flanders. It is quiet, surrounded by farmland, and has few tourist facilities of its own. I could not name established hotels in the village with confidence, so for accommodation the better-known option is the nearby city of Bruges, a short drive away. Established places to stay there include:

• Hotel de Orangerie, a historic canal-side hotel in the centre
• Die Swaene, a long-standing boutique hotel on the Steenhouwersdijk canal
• Hotel Dukes' Palace, set in a former palace building

If your destination is a private address or event venue in Aartrijke, simply give the driver the full address when booking.

Meeting Point
