Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Poperinge

The drive from Brussels Airport to Poperinge

Poperinge lies in the far west of Belgium, close to the French border, and the transfer covers 145 km (91 miles). Under normal conditions the drive takes about 1 h 38 m. The first stretch runs around the Brussels region, so allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or in bad weather. Because the trip is a private one, your driver can adjust to a delayed arrival and take you straight to your address.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest option. Larger parties, such as a family reunion or a group of battlefield visitors, can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For tour groups, school trips and clubs, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Poperinge is a less frequently booked route, so it is available on request like any other. Booking ahead is sensible, especially for the bigger vehicles.

Poperinge and where to stay

Poperinge is a small town in West Flanders, a few kilometres from Ypres. It is known for its hop-growing tradition and for its role in the First World War, when it was a rest town behind the front line. Many visitors come for the Flanders Fields sites, the hop landscape or a quiet weekend in the countryside.

• Talbot House: the historic house from 1915, now a museum that also offers guest accommodation.
• Hotel Amfora: a long-standing hotel at the Grote Markt, in the centre of town.
