Good to know about Bruges

Airport taxi to Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport is about 110 km from Bruges, roughly 80 minutes without traffic via the E40. For an early flight that means a very early start. Add your flight number so operators can see it, and request your return ride straight away so transport is waiting when you land.

Hotels in the historic centre

The old centre of Bruges has narrow lanes and limited car access. Enter the exact address of your hotel or holiday home and use the extra info field to say whether the driver can reach the door or should wait on a nearby square. That avoids confusion when you have heavy suitcases.

Zeebrugge and the coast

Cruise passengers at Zeebrugge often want to see Bruges or go straight to an airport. Coast residents and holidaymakers head for Knokke, Blankenberge or Ostend. Plan a ride with up to 3 stops, or book a chauffeur by the hour for a day along the coast and through the polders.

Groups, golf and families

A group of 9 or more should request a minibus; from 5 people a van will do. Travelling with golf bags to one of the courses in the area, with children or with your dog? Mention it in the form, so the vehicle and child seats are right.
