Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mont-Sur-Marchienne

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet without any searching.

The Drive to Mont-Sur-Marchienne

The route covers 78 km (49 miles) and normally takes about 54 minutes. It leaves the Brussels area and heads south towards Charleroi. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring can slow the first part of the trip, as can heavy traffic or roadworks further south. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure, build in a buffer. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request in the same way as any other.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits wedding guests, business delegations, sports teams and tour groups, because everyone arrives together in one vehicle. Choose the size by the number of people, and remember that suitcases take up space too.

About Mont-Sur-Marchienne

Mont-Sur-Marchienne is a district of Charleroi in the province of Hainaut, in Wallonia. It has a mostly residential character and sits close to the centre of Charleroi, so the city's shops, restaurants and rail connections are close at hand. For visitors, it is a practical base for the Charleroi area.

Where to Stay Nearby

I cannot name well-known hotels in Mont-Sur-Marchienne itself with confidence, so here are options in the nearest larger town, Charleroi:

• Mercure Charleroi Centre Gare, close to Charleroi-Sud railway station
• Ibis Charleroi Centre, a straightforward choice in the city centre
