Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Eernegem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Eernegem

Eernegem lies 120 km (75 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 21 m. The route heads west across Flanders, mostly on motorway, before it turns onto smaller regional roads for the last stretch. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, when traffic around Brussels and on the western motorways slows down. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add some minutes, so do not plan a tight connection right after arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they carry.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families. Choose the four-passenger option if you carry extra bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or small groups with suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for wedding parties, club trips, and company groups.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups that want to arrive together in one vehicle.

Eernegem and where to stay nearby

Eernegem is a small village in the municipality of Ichtegem in West Flanders. It is surrounded by flat farmland and quiet country roads, and it lies within reach of Bruges and the Belgian coast. The village itself offers little in the way of large hotels, so many visitors stay in nearby Bruges, the closest well-known hotel town, and travel on from there. Long-established places in Bruges include:

• Hotel de Orangerie: a small, historic hotel beside one of the city's canals.
• Hotel Die Swaene: a traditional canal-side hotel in the old centre.
• Hotel Navarra: a long-standing hotel in a restored historic building.

If you have booked a private address in Eernegem, give the driver the full address in advance. Rural house numbers can be hard to spot, especially after dark.
