Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Slijpe

The drive from Brussels Airport to Slijpe

The route covers 128 km (80 miles) and typically takes 1 h 20 m. Most of the distance is on motorway, so the journey is steady once you are clear of the Brussels ring. Allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around the capital slows down. Sunny summer weekends and school holidays can also add minutes, as many drivers head for the Belgian coast.

Choosing the right vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Couples and small families can take a Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties with plenty of luggage are better off in the Private Minibus with 8 seats. For wedding groups, sports clubs or company outings, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats keep everyone in one vehicle, so nobody has to find their own way at the end of the flight.

About Slijpe

Slijpe is a small village in the municipality of Middelkerke in West Flanders, close to the Belgian coast. It is a quiet, rural place with a local feel, and the beaches and promenades of the coast are nearby. Visitors tend to choose it for calm surroundings rather than for sightseeing in the village itself.

Places to stay near Slijpe

Slijpe is very small, so most well-known hotels are in the nearest larger town, Ostend. Two long-established addresses there are:

• Thermae Palace Hotel, a historic seafront hotel in Ostend.
• Andromeda Hotel, located on the seafront promenade in Ostend.

If you stay in one of these, tell us the exact hotel name when you book so the driver can plan the final stretch.
