Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vivenkapelle

The drive from Brussels Airport to Vivenkapelle

The route covers 107 km (67 miles) and typically takes 1 h 24 m by road. Vivenkapelle is a less frequently booked destination, but transfers are available on request just like on any other route. Because the journey heads across Flanders towards the coast, traffic around Brussels can add time at rush hour, so allow some extra margin if you have a tight connection, a ferry, or an appointment at the other end. Your driver monitors the situation and takes the most sensible route on the day.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-3 option suits couples or travellers with a fair amount of luggage, while the 1-4 option fits a small family or a group of colleagues. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which works well for wedding parties, team outings or family gatherings that want to arrive together. Everyone travels in one vehicle, so nobody has to coordinate several cars on arrival.

Vivenkapelle and where to stay nearby

Vivenkapelle is a small village in West Flanders, in the countryside near Bruges. It is a quiet rural setting rather than a tourist centre, so most visitors stay in nearby Bruges, which has a long tradition of hospitality. Well-known hotels there include:

• Hotel de Orangerie, set beside a canal in the historic centre
• Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce, a canal-side hotel in a historic building
• Hotel Navarra, a long-standing hotel in the old town

If you are staying at a private address in Vivenkapelle itself, simply give the driver the full address when booking.
