Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Roesbrugge

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Roesbrugge

Roesbrugge lies 155 km (97 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 52 m. The route leads west across Flanders to the far corner of West Flanders, close to the French border. Roesbrugge is not a frequently booked destination, but transfers here are available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, when traffic around Brussels slows down, or in poor weather. Your driver monitors conditions, so you can sit back after a long flight.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-passenger option gives a little more room when you travel with luggage. Larger groups can book a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle. This suits family gatherings, wedding parties, school trips and groups visiting the First World War sites in the region. Just choose the size that matches your group and luggage.
