Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bissegem

The drive from Zaventem to Bissegem

Bissegem lies 106 km (66 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 8 m. The route leads west across Flanders, so most of the journey is on motorway. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first stretch, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. A private transfer means you are driven straight to your address, with no changes along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, the 4-passenger option gives a little more breathing room. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits wedding guests, business delegations, sports teams and club outings arriving on the same flight and heading to the same place.

Bissegem as a destination

Bissegem is a small village in the Kortrijk area of West Flanders. It is a quiet, largely residential place, and visitors usually come for family, work or events in the wider Kortrijk region rather than for sights in the village itself. Kortrijk's town centre is close by and has the shops, restaurants and historic buildings that most visitors look for.

Where to stay near Bissegem

I cannot name well-known hotels in Bissegem itself with confidence, so here are established options in nearby Kortrijk:

• Parkhotel Kortrijk, a long-standing hotel near the town centre
• Hotel Messeyne, a historic hotel in the centre of Kortrijk

Give your driver the exact address when you book, whether it is a hotel in Kortrijk or a private address in Bissegem.
