Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lampernisse

The drive from Brussels Airport to Lampernisse

Lampernisse lies 148 km (92 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey usually takes around 1 h 35 m. The route heads west across Flanders and ends in the quiet countryside of the Westhoek. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Because the destination is a small village, it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so your driver can plan the final stretch in advance.

Traffic around Brussels and the larger Flemish cities can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch, allow some extra time on top of the typical driving time. Rural roads near the end of the trip are narrower, and the last kilometres are usually slower than the main part of the journey.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one option seats up to 3 passengers, the other up to 4. Larger groups can switch to a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, depending on how many people are travelling.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi, with space for the usual airport luggage.
• 5-8 passengers: 8-seat minibus, practical for a family trip or a small group of friends.
• 9-48 passengers: 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48-seat minibus, suited to wedding parties, commemorative tours, clubs and company groups.

If your group is close to a size limit, choose the larger vehicle so everyone has room for their bags.

About Lampernisse

Lampernisse is a small village in the municipality of Alveringem, in the province of West Flanders. It sits in flat, open polder country not far from the French border. It is a calm rural place rather than a tourist hub, which suits travellers who want peace, cycling routes and farmland scenery. Nearby towns offer more in the way of shops and restaurants. Visitors often combine a stay here with trips around the wider Westhoek region.
