London to Bruges: Overview of Bus, Train, Flight, and Car Trips

Traveling between London and Bruges offers a variety of convenient options to suit your preferences, schedule, and budget. Whether you prioritize affordability, speed, or comfort, you’re sure to find the perfect way to travel without compromising on quality or convenience.

Useful tips for plane travellers
• As flights from London to Brussels South Charleroi Airport provide easier access to Bruges than those to Brussels Airport (BRU), consider booking with either British Airways or easyJet for the most direct route; be aware that your travel time will also include an additional leg to Bruges.
• Upon arrival at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, expect to navigate a 1-1.5 hour journey to Bruges via an airport shuttle bus, which you can pre-book through the airport's website for convenience (charleroi-airport.com). Alternatively, plan for a seamless transition at the train station by purchasing a ticket for trains to Bruges from the station directly connected to the airport.
• The taxi fare from the Charleroi Airport to Bruges city center is approximately €150-€180; however, for budget-conscious travelers, consider using the Flibco shuttle service for a more economical option (flibco.com).
