Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ver-Assebroek

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Ver-Assebroek

The route covers 105 km (66 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 12 m. It leads west across Flanders towards Bruges, and Ver-Assebroek lies on the eastern side of the city. Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request, like every other transfer. Allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest, and in poor weather. If you have a connection or appointment after arrival, a small buffer is sensible.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option gives a little more room for luggage when four people travel together. Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32, 40 or 48 seats for larger groups such as wedding parties, tour groups or company teams

Pick the vehicle by the number of travellers and the amount of luggage, and size up if you are close to the limit.

Ver-Assebroek and Where to Stay Nearby

Ver-Assebroek is part of Assebroek, a residential district in the east of Bruges in West Flanders. It is a quiet area rather than a tourist centre, so most visitors base themselves in Bruges itself. I cannot name hotels in Ver-Assebroek with confidence, so these are well-known, long-established places to stay in nearby Bruges:

• Hotel Dukes' Palace, a historic hotel in the city centre
• Hotel de Tuilerieën, set beside one of Bruges' canals
• Hotel Die Swaene, a small, traditional hotel near the canals
