Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Drongen

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

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 go straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Drongen

The route covers 71 km (44 miles) and typically takes around 47 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west from Zaventem towards the Ghent area. Traffic around the Brussels ring and on the approach to Ghent can be heavy during the morning and evening rush hours, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection on the other end.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest option. Larger parties can book a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group with plenty of suitcases, while the 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat minibuses cover wedding parties, company groups, school trips and sports teams. Pick the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, and you will have room to spare.

Drongen as a Destination

Drongen is a district in the west of Ghent, in the province of East Flanders. It has a quiet, largely residential character with green surroundings along the river Leie, and it is a short ride from the lively city centre of Ghent. Visitors come here for local visits and business, or as a calmer base within reach of Ghent's historic sights. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request just like any other transfer.

Where to Stay Near Drongen

Drongen itself is mainly residential, so most visitors choose accommodation in neighbouring Ghent, which is only a short drive away. Well-established options in the city include:

• Marriott Ghent, on the Korenlei by the waterfront
• NH Gent Belfort, close to the historic centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, a long-standing hotel in a converted mansion in the old town
