Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Afsnee

The Drive from Charleroi to Afsnee

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 11 m. Afsnee lies on the western side of Ghent, so the last part of the trip runs through the Ghent area rather than the open countryside. Traffic around Brussels and Ghent can build up during the morning and evening rush hours, and bad weather can slow things down as well. If you have a train, a ferry or an appointment to catch after the transfer, allow some extra time. This route is booked less often than the big airport links, 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 natural choice. It is offered for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the version that matches your party and your luggage. Groups that go beyond four people can choose a private minibus. The sizes start at 8 seats and continue in steps of eight: 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, sports teams, school trips and company outings heading to the Ghent region. When you book, tell us how many people are travelling and how many large suitcases or sports bags you have, so the vehicle fits comfortably.

Afsnee as a Destination

Afsnee is a quiet residential village in East Flanders. It forms part of the city of Ghent and lies close to the river Leie. People usually come here to visit family, to attend a local event, or to stay somewhere calmer than the historic centre while keeping the city within easy reach.

Where to Stay near Afsnee

Afsnee itself is small, so most visitors choose accommodation in nearby Ghent, a few kilometres away. Well-established options there include:

• Pand Hotel, a boutique hotel in a historic townhouse in the old centre
• Boutique Hotel Gravensteen, set in a converted 19th-century mansion close to the Castle of the Counts
• Novotel Gent Centrum, a larger, conventional hotel near the city centre
