Brussels → Ostend: key facts

Ostend from Brussels Airport (BRU) by private transfer: €380 per car (1–3 people) or €470 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 122 km via E40 and R0, roughly 1h 20min when traffic is light and 1h 20min – 1h 40min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the main Brussels Airport terminal building, just after the baggage reclaim and customs exit, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Ostend is the main seaside resort of the Belgian coast, with a long promenade, a wide sandy beach, a harbour and a casino. The drive from Brussels Airport follows the E40 motorway for around 120 km and ends at the coast, where the railway station and the harbour lie close together and the Kursaal casino stands on the seafront. Summer weekends and holidays bring heavy traffic on the E40 towards the coast, especially on Fridays and Sundays. The Belgian coast tram, the Kusttram, runs along the whole coastline from De Panne to Knokke-Heist.

The seafront of Ostend is a long promenade with the beach on one side and apartment blocks and hotels on the other. The Kursaal and the Royal Galleries, an arcaded colonnade, stand on the promenade, and the Fort Napoleon and the museum of modern art Mu.ZEE are within a few kilometres. Ostend railway station is near the harbour, where the Mercator sailing ship is moored, and the town centre lies between the harbour and the beach. The Kusttram stops near the station. July and August bring crowds, and in winter the coast is quiet and windy.

Public transport instead: SNCB/NMBS train IC from Brussels Airport-Zaventem station (change at Brussels-Midi or Brussels-Central) to Oostende — about 1h 45min – 2h 5min, hourly or more, 1 change.
