Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to B-aparthotel Grand Place Brussels

The drive from Charleroi to central Brussels

The route covers 67 km (42 miles) and typically takes 58 minutes. Most of it is motorway driving north from Charleroi towards the Brussels ring. The last part runs through the city centre, where traffic is the main variable. Weekday rush hours, events around the Grand Place and roadworks can add time, so allow a little extra if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families fit a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64 or even more seats, so you can pick the size that matches your headcount and luggage. Say how many bags you are bringing when you book, so the vehicle has room for everything.

About B-aparthotel Grand Place

As the name suggests, this aparthotel sits in the historic centre of Brussels, close to the Grand Place. Much of the old centre is pedestrianised or has restricted access, so your driver will use the closest practical drop-off point. From there it is usually a short walk with your luggage. Restaurants, cafés and shops are all within a few minutes on foot.

Other places to stay near the Grand Place

Brussels has several well-established hotels in and around the centre. Hotel Amigo is a well-known address just off the Grand Place. Hotel Métropole is a historic hotel on Place de Brouckère. Hotel Le Plaza stands on Boulevard Adolphe Max, a short distance from the main sights.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Public transport connection

Flibco airport bus to Brussels-Midi, then premetro tram to Bourse, 1 change required, approx. 75–90 minutes total

The final stretch on foot to the aparthotel is short. A private transfer avoids the change and the walk with luggage, and takes you door to door.
