Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Melle

The drive from Brussels Airport to Melle

Melle lies 57 km (35 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 41 minutes. The route heads west towards Ghent, so weekday rush hours around Brussels and on the approach to Ghent can add noticeable time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure, build in a buffer. This is an occasionally booked route, and every transfer is private, so the vehicle goes straight to your address without stops for other passengers.

Meeting point at the airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head there without searching the arrivals hall.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers and couples, a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers is the natural fit. If you have a family or a bit more luggage, the Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers gives you an extra seat. Larger groups can book a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits wedding parties, company teams and organised tours heading to the Ghent area. Pick the size by passenger count and bags, since a fully booked vehicle leaves little room for suitcases.

Melle as a destination

Melle is a municipality in East Flanders, directly bordering the city of Ghent. Many visitors choose it for its quiet residential setting and its easy reach of Ghent's historic centre. The location also works well for business visits in the Ghent region.

Places to stay near Melle

I cannot name well-known long-established hotels in Melle itself with confidence, so here are established options in neighbouring Ghent, a short ride away:

• NH Gent Belfort, a hotel in the historic centre.
• Novotel Gent Centrum, a large, well-known hotel in the city centre.
• Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof, a boutique hotel housed in a historic building.
