Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Arenberg

The drive from Charleroi to Arenberg

The route covers 78 km (49 miles) and usually takes around 55 minutes. It heads north from Charleroi towards the Brussels region and on to the Leuven area, so most of the journey is on motorway. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels slow down. Arenberg is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small parties, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The sizes are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats, so you can pick one that matches your headcount and luggage. This suits university delegations, conference groups and wedding parties heading to the Arenberg area.

Where to stay near Arenberg

Arenberg is best known as the site of the Arenberg Castle and the KU Leuven campus in Heverlee, on the edge of Leuven. It is mostly a campus and residential area, so the well-known hotels are in nearby Leuven rather than in Arenberg itself. In Leuven, established names include Martin's Klooster, a hotel in a converted monastery building, and the Leuven Marriott Hotel, which is close to the city centre. Both are a short ride from the Arenberg campus. Tell us the address when you book and the driver will take you directly to your door.
