Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Krombeke

The drive from Brussels Airport to Krombeke

Krombeke lies 151 km (94 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 46 m. The route heads west across Belgium into the far west of the country. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in heavy rain, since the first part of the journey runs through the busiest stretch of road.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families or small groups, a private taxi is the simplest choice: there are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for wedding guests, memorial tour groups, sports teams or company outings, because everyone arrives together and no one has to coordinate separate cars. If you carry a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for extra space.

Krombeke as a destination

Krombeke is a small rural village in West Flanders, in the countryside near the French border. The area is quiet and agricultural, and it is known for its flat landscape and for the surrounding Westhoek region, which has strong First World War history. Expect a peaceful stay rather than a busy tourist centre.

Places to stay near Krombeke

Krombeke itself is very small, so most visitors stay in the nearby town of Poperinge. Two long-established options there are:

• Talbot House, a historic First World War house that offers guest accommodation.
• Hotel Recour, a well-known hotel in the centre of Poperinge.

Poperinge is a convenient base for the surrounding villages and the Westhoek battlefield sites. Your driver can drop you directly at the address of your choice.
