Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Voormezele

The drive from Brussels Airport to Voormezele

The route covers 135 km (84 miles) and typically takes 1 h 34 m. It is a long transfer, so a door-to-door car makes sense, especially after a flight with luggage. Voormezele is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels and on Friday afternoons, when traffic on the motorways leaving the capital tends to be heavier. Bad weather can also add minutes, so a small buffer is wise if you have a connection or an appointment at the other end.

Which vehicle suits your group

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually take the Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option leaves a little more room for a fourth person and their bags. Larger parties can choose a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for school trips, battlefield tour groups, wedding guests or a company outing heading to the Ypres area. Pick the vehicle by passenger count and the amount of luggage, and go one size up if you carry bulky items.

Voormezele and the surrounding area

Voormezele is a small village in West Flanders, part of the municipality of Ieper (Ypres). The countryside here is quiet and flat, and the area is closely linked to the history of the First World War. Many visitors come to see the memorials and cemeteries around Ieper. Expect a rural setting rather than a busy town centre, with most services and restaurants found in Ieper itself, a short drive away.

Where to stay near Voormezele

I cannot confidently name hotels in Voormezele itself, so these suggestions are in the nearest town, Ieper:

• Hotel Ariane – a well-known hotel in Ieper, popular with visitors to the war sites.
• Albion Hotel – a long-established hotel in Ieper, close to the town centre.
