Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Loppem

The drive from BRU to Loppem

Loppem lies 103 km (65 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 6 m. The route heads west across Flanders towards Bruges, so the final stretch is on regional roads rather than a motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and busy holiday weekends towards the coast can slow the first part of the trip, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a dinner reservation.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, small families and business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one option seats 1-3 passengers, the other 1-4. Larger parties, such as wedding guests, sports teams or company groups, can book a private minibus. The minibus range covers 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats, so everyone can travel together in a single vehicle. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for extra space.

Loppem and where to stay nearby

Loppem is a quiet village in the municipality of Zedelgem, just south of Bruges. It is best known for Loppem Castle, a neo-Gothic country house set in a park. Otherwise the area is calm and residential, with fields and country lanes around it.

Loppem itself has few places to stay that we can name with confidence, so here are well-known, long-established hotels in nearby Bruges:

• Hotel Navarra, a traditional hotel in the historic centre.
• Hotel de Orangerie, set in a former convent building along one of the canals.
• Grand Hotel Casselbergh, a classic city-centre hotel.
