Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Kruis

The drive from Zaventem to Sint-Kruis

The route covers 106 km (66 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. You leave the Brussels area and head west towards Bruges, so the journey is a straight run across Flanders without any stops along the way. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when the Brussels ring and the western motorways are busiest. Sint-Kruis is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route, so your driver will be arranged for your exact arrival time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with four people and luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8 passengers
• 16 and 24 seats for family gatherings, wedding guests or small teams
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for tour groups, school trips and company events

If you carry a lot of luggage, consider the next vehicle size up so everyone travels comfortably.

Sint-Kruis and where to stay nearby

Sint-Kruis is a district on the eastern edge of Bruges, in West Flanders. It is a quieter, more residential area than the medieval centre, which is only a short ride away. I cannot name well-known long-established hotels in Sint-Kruis itself with confidence, so here are some established places to stay in Bruges:

• Hotel Dukes' Palace, a historic hotel close to the city centre
• Hotel de Orangerie, a small, well-known hotel set along one of the canals
• Hotel Die Swaene, a long-standing canal-side hotel in the old town

Tell us the exact address when you book, whether it is in Sint-Kruis or in central Bruges, so the driver can take you to the right door.
