Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Dikkebus

The drive from Zaventem to Dikkebus

The route covers 138 km (86 miles) and typically takes 1 h 36 m. It leads west across Flanders, starting on the busy roads around Brussels and continuing through more open countryside towards the West Flanders border region. Allow some extra time if you land during peak traffic hours, as congestion around the capital can add to the journey. Dikkebus is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, so you can arrange it ahead of your arrival.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The location is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so there is no need to search the arrivals area for your ride.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This is useful for groups visiting the First World War sites around Ypres, such as school trips, tour groups, remembrance visits or family gatherings, since everyone, including their luggage, travels together in one vehicle and arrives at the same time.

Dikkebus and places to stay nearby

Dikkebus is a small village in the municipality of Ieper (Ypres) in West Flanders. It is best known for Dikkebus Lake, a reservoir surrounded by walking paths, and for its position in the rural landscape of the former Western Front, where many memorials and cemeteries can be found. The village itself is quiet and has limited accommodation, so many visitors stay in nearby Ypres, which is a short drive away.

• Hotel Ariane (Ypres): a well-known hotel in Ieper, popular with visitors exploring the battlefield region.
• Albion Hotel (Ypres): a long-standing hotel in the town, close to the historic centre and the Menin Gate area.
