Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Audenaerde

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Audenaerde

The route covers 84 km (53 miles) and typically takes 1 h 1 m. You leave the airport area via the Brussels ring road and continue west into East Flanders. Audenaerde is usually spelled Oudenaarde on Belgian road signs and maps. Weekday rush hours around Brussels can slow the first stretch, so allow some extra time if you have a tight appointment or a fixed check-in. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the arrivals hall.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families fit a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That range suits wedding guests, cycling groups, school trips or company outings heading to the area. Choose the size by passenger count and luggage, especially if you bring bicycles or sports bags.

About Audenaerde

Audenaerde sits on the river Scheldt in the Flemish Ardennes region. It is known for its Gothic town hall, its medieval tapestry tradition and its strong link to cycling, as the Tour of Flanders finishes nearby. The historic centre is compact and easy to explore on foot, which makes it a pleasant base for a weekend or a business visit.

Where to Stay Nearby

I cannot name long-established hotels in Audenaerde itself with confidence. The nearby city of Ghent has several well-known options if you want a larger choice of accommodation:

• Marriott Ghent, on the Korenlei by the river
• NH Gent Belfort, close to the historic centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, a hotel in a restored historic building

If you stay in Ghent, tell us the exact address when booking and we will arrange the transfer there instead.
