The Drive from Brussels Airport to Bergen op Zoom

The transfer covers 85 km (53 miles) and typically takes 1 h 1 m. The route heads north from Zaventem, crosses the Belgian-Dutch border and ends in the west of North Brabant. Bergen op Zoom is not one of our busiest destinations, but it is booked from time to time, and the journey is straightforward. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around the Antwerp area can slow down, and in bad weather. Your driver tracks conditions and picks the best route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle choice depends on how many people and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for tour groups, teams and company events.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations, school groups and organised tours arriving together.

Bergen op Zoom as a Destination

Bergen op Zoom is a historic town in the Dutch province of North Brabant, close to the Belgian border and the Oosterschelde estuary. Its best-known sights are the Markiezenhof, a former noble palace in the centre, and the medieval Gevangenpoort gate. The town is also famous for its lively carnival, when it is known as Krabbegat. Visitors come for the old town, the nearby waterways and the easy access to Zeeland and Rotterdam.

Where to Stay in Bergen op Zoom

Among the town's long-established addresses is Hotel De Draak, a historic hotel on the Grote Markt that has been welcoming guests for centuries. For a modern, business-friendly stay, Van der Valk Hotel Bergen op Zoom is a well-known choice. Give your driver the exact hotel name when you book, so the drop-off is smooth.
