Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vlassenbroek

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Vlassenbroek

Vlassenbroek lies 43 km (27 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the trip usually takes around 42 minutes by road. This is a route that is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other, so you can arrange it ahead of your arrival.

The journey leaves the airport area and heads towards East Flanders, and the stretch around Brussels can slow down during the morning and evening rush hours. If you have a tight connection, an appointment or a event at the other end, it is sensible to add a little buffer to the stated travel time. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes, particularly in winter.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for larger families or friends travelling with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams, company groups and other medium-sized parties.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups that want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one when you have bulky luggage such as sports equipment, prams or musical instruments.

About Vlassenbroek

Vlassenbroek is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Dendermonde in East Flanders. It lies in a rural setting near the river Scheldt, and the surrounding countryside is flat and green, which makes it popular with walkers and cyclists. Because it is a small place, visitors often combine a stay with trips to nearby Dendermonde or other towns in the region. It is worth giving your driver the exact street address when you book, since village roads can be hard to find on a map.
