Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vlamertinge

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Vlamertinge

Vlamertinge lies in the far west of Belgium, so this is a long transfer: 137 km (86 miles), which normally takes about 1 h 33 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and crosses Flanders towards the French border. Morning and evening rush hours around Brussels and on the western motorways can slow things down, so add some buffer if you have a tight appointment or a ferry or train to catch. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers; if you have large suitcases, choose the larger one for extra boot space.

Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats: up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats: up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats: up to 24 passengers
• 32, 40 and 48 seats: for tour groups, school trips, commemorative visits and larger events

Everyone travels together in one vehicle, which helps with groups heading to the same hotel or event.

Vlamertinge and Where to Stay

Vlamertinge is a quiet village in West Flanders, part of the city of Ieper (Ypres) and close to Poperinge. It sits in the Flanders Fields region, which many visitors come to see for its First World War history, cemeteries and memorials. The countryside around it is flat and agricultural, with cycling routes and small villages.

The village itself is small, so most well-known hotels are in nearby Ypres (Ieper), a short drive away:

• Ariane Hotel, a long-established hotel in Ypres
• Hotel Regina, a traditional hotel in Ypres
• Albion Hotel, a well-known stay in the centre of Ypres

Check your booking for the exact address and give it to us when you reserve your transfer, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
