Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Tielt

The drive from Brussels Airport to Tielt

Tielt lies in West Flanders, 94 km (59 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport. The typical driving time is 1 h 6 m, and the trip is a straightforward road transfer from the terminal to your door. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so you simply arrange it in advance.

Brussels has heavy traffic around the ring road at the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, and the same applies on Friday afternoons. If you have a meeting, a train connection or a fixed check-in time in Tielt, add a buffer to the stated driving time. Bad weather in winter can also slow things down.

Which vehicle suits your group

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a larger family or friends travelling with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suited to mid-sized groups, teams or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, company outings and organised tours.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams, choose the next size up for comfort.

Tielt as a destination

Tielt is a market town in the Flemish countryside, between Bruges, Ghent and Kortrijk. It is centred on its main square, the Markt, which is surrounded by historic buildings and has a belfry. The area is mostly flat farmland with small villages, which makes it popular for cycling and quiet stays away from the larger tourist cities. Tielt is also a convenient base for visiting the wider region of West Flanders by road.
