Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sijsele

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sijsele

The transfer from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sijsele covers 104 km (65 miles) and typically takes 1 h 19 m. The route leads from the Brussels area towards West Flanders, so you travel by road the whole way, without changing trains or buses with your luggage. Sijsele is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Traffic around Brussels at rush hour can lengthen the trip, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection on the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families or groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, company teams and mid-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as coach-style events or organised tours.

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room for luggage.

Sijsele and where to stay nearby

Sijsele is a village in West Flanders, in the municipality of Damme and close to Bruges. It has a quiet, rural character, which suits visitors who prefer a calmer base to a busy city centre. Accommodation in Sijsele itself is limited, so many travellers stay in nearby Bruges, a short drive away. Well-known, long-established places to stay there include:

• Hotel de Tuilerieën, a historic hotel on the Dijver canal.
• Hotel Dukes' Palace, set in a former palace in the centre of the city.
