Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Staphorst

The drive from Brussels Airport to Staphorst

The route covers 267 km (166 miles) and typically takes 2 h 53 m, crossing from Belgium into the Netherlands and heading north-east to Overijssel. Staphorst is not a popular booking, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels, Antwerp and the busy Dutch motorways, and in bad weather. A private transfer takes you from the terminal to the destination without changes, which helps after a long flight or with heavy luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families can book a Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups are covered by the minibus range:

• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats for mid-sized groups
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for coach-sized parties such as clubs, events or company trips

On a journey of nearly three hours, extra space for luggage and legroom is worth considering when you are near a vehicle's limit.

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

About Staphorst

Staphorst is a village in the province of Overijssel in the east of the Netherlands. It is known for its long, narrow layout along the main road, its traditional farmhouses and its strong local customs, some of which are still visible in the dress and character of the village. Sundays are generally kept quiet here, so plan arrival and onward plans with that in mind.

Where to stay near Staphorst

Staphorst itself has only a limited choice of accommodation that I can name with confidence, so the nearest larger town is the better reference point. In Zwolle, a short drive from Staphorst, well-known options include Grand Hotel Wientjes and Van der Valk Hotel Zwolle. Both are established hotels, and Zwolle also offers restaurants and shops if you are staying for several days.
