Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Middelkerke

The drive from Brussels Airport to Middelkerke

The route covers 133 km (83 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 26 m. You leave the Brussels area and cross Flanders towards the North Sea coast, so the last part of the trip is flat, open country. Middelkerke is an occasionally booked destination, which makes a pre-arranged ride the simplest way to get there. Allow extra time on summer weekends and sunny public holidays, when coastal roads fill up, and during the weekday rush hours around Brussels.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Check the luggage you carry against the passenger count, as beach holidays often mean bulky bags. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits family reunions, wedding guests, sports clubs and company outings heading to the coast together.

Middelkerke as a destination

Middelkerke is a seaside resort on the Belgian coast in West Flanders. It is known for its long sandy beach, its seafront promenade and a relaxed holiday atmosphere. Many visitors come for walks along the shore, cycling and short breaks by the sea. The coastal tram line also runs through the town, which is handy for day trips along the coast once you have settled in.

Where to stay near Middelkerke

Hotels in Middelkerke itself are mostly smaller, family-run places, so for well-known, long-established names we point to the neighbouring coastal town of Ostend:

• Thermae Palace Hotel, a landmark seafront hotel in Ostend
• Andromeda Hotel, on the Ostend beach promenade
• Radisson Blu Palace Hotel, also by the seafront in Ostend
