Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maldegem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Maldegem

Maldegem lies 97 km (60 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 8 m. The route heads west across Flanders, so most of the time is spent on motorway before you reach the quieter local roads into town. Weekday rush hours around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so it helps to allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Maldegem is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like any other route, and the driver will know the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller groups, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. Families or friends travelling with several suitcases may prefer the larger of the two, or a step up to the 8-seat minibus. Bigger parties such as wedding guests, school groups or company teams can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle. When you book, count your luggage as well as your passengers.

About Maldegem

Maldegem is a town in East Flanders, in the Meetjesland area, not far from the Dutch border and the historic city of Bruges. It has a quiet, small-town character, with local shops, cafés and the flat countryside typical of the region. Visitors usually come to see family, attend events or use the town as a calm base for exploring the area by car or bike.

Where to stay near Maldegem

Maldegem itself has only a limited choice of accommodation, and I cannot name specific long-established hotels there with confidence. Many visitors therefore stay in nearby Bruges, which has a wide range of well-known places to stay. Examples include:

• Hotel de Tuilerieën, a historic canal-side hotel in the city centre
• Hotel Dukes' Palace, set in a former noble residence
• Die Swaene, a long-standing boutique hotel on a canal

If your accommodation is in Bruges rather than Maldegem, tell us the address when booking so the driver can plan the route.
