Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zandvoort

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Zandvoort

The route covers 209 km (130 miles) and typically takes 2 h 28 m, crossing from Belgium into the Netherlands and ending on the North Sea coast west of Haarlem. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so it is worth arranging your transfer in advance. Allow extra time on sunny summer weekends, when beach traffic builds up around Zandvoort, and on race weekends at the local circuit. Heavy traffic around Antwerp and the approach to Amsterdam can also add to the journey on weekday mornings and evenings.

Zandvoort and Where to Stay

Zandvoort is a seaside resort on the Dutch coast, known for its wide sandy beach, its boulevard and the Circuit Zandvoort racetrack, which hosts the Dutch Grand Prix. It is popular with day-trippers from Amsterdam, but it also works well as a base for a few quiet days by the sea.

Among the established places to stay are the Hampshire Hotel - Beachhotel Zandvoort, close to the beach, and Hotel Zuiderbad, a long-standing address in the town. Check each property's location before booking so you can give your driver the exact drop-off address.
