Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Woesten

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive to Woesten

The transfer covers 347 km (216 miles) and typically takes 3 h 45 m. It is a long journey from the airport in central Belgium to the far west of the country, so it helps to settle in and plan a comfortable stop if you need one. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in poor weather, as these can add to the usual driving time. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, so it is best to book ahead.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suitable for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats or 16 Seats for larger families, friends or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats for tour groups, clubs, school parties and event guests travelling together.

On a journey of nearly four hours, extra legroom and luggage space are worth considering, so choose the larger option if you are unsure.

Woesten and Where to Stay

Woesten is a small village in West Flanders, in the Vleteren area close to the French border. It is quiet, rural countryside, and it lies near Poperinge and Ypres, which are well known for their First World War history. The Sint-Sixtus Abbey in nearby Westvleteren is also a familiar name in the region.

We cannot name established hotels in Woesten itself with confidence. The nearest larger town with well-known accommodation is Ypres (Ieper), where you will find:

• Ariane Hotel
• Main Street Hotel
• Albion Hotel

If you are staying in Woesten at a guesthouse or private address, have the full address ready for your driver, as rural lanes can be hard to find.
