Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Aparthotel Wellington, Brussels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after the arrivals hall.

The Drive from Charleroi to Brussels

The transfer from Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Aparthotel Wellington covers 55 km (34 miles), and the typical driving time is 51 minutes. The route heads north from the airport towards the Brussels region, and the last stretch runs through city streets rather than motorway.

Allow extra time if you travel in the morning or late-afternoon rush hour. Traffic on the approach to Brussels can slow down noticeably then. Roadworks, which are common in the city, can also add minutes. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure, plan a buffer instead of relying on the typical time alone.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so you can arrange it in advance without difficulty.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that leaves room for your luggage. For groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits school trips, sports teams, wedding parties and company delegations that want to arrive together at the same address.

When you book, count your suitcases as well as your passengers. Bulky items such as sports equipment or pushchairs are easier to plan for in advance.

Places to Stay in Brussels

Aparthotel Wellington is an apartment-style stay in Brussels, a good base for travellers who want a bit more space than a standard hotel room offers. The city is compact, and many visitors get around by metro, tram or on foot once they have arrived.

If you are comparing accommodation in the city centre, several well-established hotels are worth knowing:

• Hotel Metropole, a historic hotel on Place de Brouckère that dates back to the 19th century
• Hotel Amigo, a long-standing hotel close to the Grand-Place
• Le Plaza Brussels, a classic hotel near the Boulevard Adolphe Max

Share the exact address of your accommodation when you book, so the driver can plan the final approach and the drop-off point.
