Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Torhout

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Torhout

Torhout lies 115 km (72 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 16 m. The route heads west across Flanders, so it is a straightforward transfer with no need to change vehicles. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. If you land during the morning or evening rush hour, allow some extra time, since traffic around Brussels can slow the start of the journey.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups can travel in a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. A party of four with suitcases will usually be more comfortable in the 1-4 option, so choose according to how much luggage you carry as well as how many people are travelling.

For larger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits families travelling together, wedding parties, sports teams, company groups and anyone heading to an event in the region, and everyone arrives together in a single vehicle.

About Torhout

Torhout is a small town in West Flanders with a traditional market square and a calm, regional character. It is known beyond Belgium mainly for the Torhout-Werchter music festival, which has a long history.
