Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Leffinge

The drive from Brussels Airport to Leffinge

Leffinge lies in West Flanders, close to the Belgian coast. The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport covers 129 km (81 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 28 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west across Flanders. Leffinge is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or evening rush around Brussels. Sunny summer weekends can also slow traffic noticeably on the roads towards the coast.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you travel with several suitcases or a child seat. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding guests, sports teams, school trips and company groups who want to arrive together. Every vehicle is private, so the driver goes straight to Leffinge without stopping for other passengers.

Leffinge as a destination

Leffinge is a small village that belongs to the municipality of Middelkerke. It is a calm, rural place a short distance inland from the North Sea coast. Many visitors come for the nearby beaches, the dunes and cycling in the flat polder landscape. Ostend, the main coastal town of the area, is close by for shops, restaurants and the seafront promenade.

Places to stay near Leffinge

Leffinge itself is a small village, so most visitors choose accommodation in nearby Ostend, the closest larger town. Two long-established names there are:

• Thermae Palace Hotel, a historic seafront hotel in Ostend with a classic early 20th-century style.
• Hotel Andromeda, a well-known seafront hotel on the Ostend promenade.

Tell your driver the exact address of your hotel or holiday home when you book, so the drop-off is smooth.
