Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Amel

The Drive from Charleroi to Amel

The route from Charleroi Airport Brussels South to Amel covers 161 km (101 miles) and typically takes 1 h 45 m. It leads east across Belgium, from the Walloon plains towards the hills of the Ardennes and the German-speaking East Cantons. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the journey is made door to door with no changes.

The last part of the trip runs on smaller roads through a hilly, wooded landscape. In winter, fog, rain or snow can slow things down, and the same applies at busy times on the approach to the Liège region. If you have an onward appointment in Amel, allow some buffer beyond the standard driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage.

Groups travelling together can choose from our private minibus range. The sizes run from 8 seats up to 64 seats: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64. This suits wedding parties, sports teams, company outings and tour groups heading for the Amel area. Tell us the number of passengers and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign the matching vehicle.

Amel as a Destination

Amel (also known by its French name, Amblève) is a municipality in the province of Liège, in the German-speaking part of Belgium. It is made up of several villages spread across a quiet, green area of the Ardennes. Visitors usually come for walking, cycling and a calm break in the countryside, or to visit family and friends in the region. The nearby town of Sankt Vith is the larger centre of the area.

Because the villages are scattered, please give us the exact address when you book. A precise destination helps the driver plan the final stretch and avoids detours on the local roads.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at the Starbucks in the terminal, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching around the arrivals hall.
