Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hollebeke

The drive from BRU to Hollebeke

Hollebeke lies 129 km (81 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 31 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. The journey leads west across Belgium towards the province of West Flanders, so the final part is on smaller regional roads rather than motorway.

Brussels traffic around the ring road can be heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons. If you have a ferry, train or appointment to make, add a buffer to the standard driving time. Heavy rain or roadworks can also slow the last stretch.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest choice. The 1-4 option gives a little more room for luggage and a fourth passenger.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or an extended family with suitcases. For tour parties, school trips, event guests or delegations, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick the size by the number of passengers, and allow extra space if the group carries a lot of luggage.

Hollebeke as a destination

Hollebeke is a small village in West Flanders and part of the municipality of Ieper. It is a quiet rural area of fields and farmland, close to the French border. The region is well known for its First World War history, and many visitors come to explore the nearby battlefields, memorials and cemeteries. Expect a calm countryside setting rather than a busy tourist centre.

Where to stay near Hollebeke

Hollebeke itself is very small, so most visitors stay in the nearby town of Ieper, which is the main base for the area. Established options there include Ariane Hotel and Albion Hotel. Both are in Ieper, a short drive from Hollebeke. Please confirm your exact address with your accommodation before booking so the driver can take you to the right door.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without searching around the terminal.
