Hey there, traveller! Are you thinking about visiting the beautiful mediaeval town of Bruges soon? If you are in Brussels, there are a number of transportation options available to you for making this trip. It shouldn’t take too long, and you will be able to see amazing views of the Belgian countryside along the way. You can choose between taking the train, a bus, or even a private transfer, which is the most comfortable way to make the trip.
Booking your transfers with AtoB is simple. In just a few clicks, you ensure safe and reliable transportation, anywhere.
You will be very pleased to hear that there is a direct train route connecting these two destinations. The particular train line runs at multiple intervals throughout the day, making it a very convenient option. The downside to the train route is the fact that it does not offer a night-line, which means that those arriving during the wee hours will have to wait until sunrise to make their connetion to beautiful Bruges.
To catch this train, make your way to the train station in the airport, which is signposted throughout the terminal, after you have been cleared through passport control and collected your bags. When at the station, be sure to carefully check the departures board for the train that is departing soonest. The direct train line is the IC towards Knokke-Heist, which usually departs from Platform 1.
At the station, you can purchase your tickets at one of the automated kiosks, or via the official SNCB app. This particular train ride will cost €23.80, with the added airport supplement of €6.80 already included.
When you arrive at Brugge Centraal, disembark and catch a tram or bus into the center of the city.

There is a bus that offers the route, though it is provided by a private operator going by the name of Flix. You can take a bus directly from the airport, all the way to Bruges for between €9-27, depending on when you book it, and whether you choose the mid-day or evening option.
The operator will provide you with the exact meeting point for the bus, upon booking, thus there is not much more information we are able to provide you with.

There is a total distance of 107 kilometres between the two destinations, when travelling by car. The total duration of transit is estimated to be around 1 hour and 30 minutes, although this can be affected by traffic conditions.
The cheapest option is the bus, with tickets costing just €9 (if you book them in advance), you can get to Bruges affordably. The downside to buses is their relative lack of comfort. They can oftentimes be overcrowded, with this particular provider of buses utilizing a single bus to service multiple routes, meaning that there may be passengers who are visiting another location in the same bus. If you don’t feel like being crammed into a bus with countless other passengers, then the final option remaining for you is a private transfer. AtoB offers a very affordable option for this route, with prices starting at only €134. Below you can see the prices, and in the final section of this article, we will detail just how easy it is to book your transfer via our website.
