Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hoeke

The drive from Zaventem to Hoeke

Hoeke lies 125 km (78 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes 1 h 19 m. The route heads west across Flanders towards the coast, so it is mostly motorway followed by a short stretch on local roads. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or on summer weekends when traffic towards the coast is heavier. Hoeke is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: there are versions for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to 8 can take the 8-seat minibus, which leaves room for suitcases. Larger parties such as wedding guests, school trips or company outings can choose a minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Everyone then arrives together and nobody has to organise several cars.

Hoeke as a destination

Hoeke is a small village in the municipality of Damme, in West Flanders. It sits in flat polder countryside close to the Dutch border, which makes it a quiet base for walks and cycling. Expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a busy town centre.

Where to stay near Hoeke

Hoeke itself is tiny, so most visitors look at the historic city of Bruges nearby. Well-established hotels there include:

• Hotel de Tuilerieën, a canal-side hotel in a former mansion
• Hotel Dukes' Palace, set in a historic palace building in the city centre
• Hotel Die Swaene, a long-running boutique hotel on the canal

If your accommodation is in Hoeke or Damme, simply give the driver the exact address when booking so the drop-off is smooth.
