Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ertvelde

The drive from Zaventem to Ertvelde

The route covers 93 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 h 1 m. It runs west from the airport towards Ghent and then continues north to Ertvelde. Ertvelde is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and the Ghent ring can add time, so allow a margin if you have a connection or appointment waiting at the other end.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The location is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties can travel in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-seat version gives a little more room for a family with luggage. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding parties, company teams and club outings that want to arrive together in a single vehicle. When you book, pick the size that matches your headcount and the amount of luggage you are bringing.

Ertvelde as a destination

Ertvelde is a village in East Flanders, part of the municipality of Evergem, north of Ghent and not far from the Dutch border. It is a quiet residential area rather than a major tourist spot. Many visitors come for business in the Ghent canal and port zone or to see family.

Places to stay nearby

Ertvelde itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so most visitors stay in Ghent, the nearest larger city. Established options there include:

• Ghent Marriott Hotel, on the Korenlei by the river in the historic centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, in a converted mansion close to the Castle of the Counts
• NH Gent Belfort, next to the Belfry and the town hall

From the centre of Ghent, Ertvelde is a short drive north.
