Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Beauraing

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can meet without any searching around the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Beauraing

Beauraing lies 90 km (56 miles) from the airport, and the trip typically takes 1 hour. The route leads south from the Charleroi area into the province of Namur and then on into the quieter, greener landscape of the Famenne and the edge of the Ardennes. The last part of the journey usually runs on smaller regional roads rather than motorway, so it feels slower than the distance suggests.

Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Charleroi, and in winter, when fog or frost can slow traffic in the hills. If you have a connecting commitment in Beauraing, such as a check-in time or an event, plan a small buffer after landing for baggage collection.

This is a route we serve on request rather than a daily staple, so it is worth booking ahead and giving your flight arrival details so the driver can plan the pickup.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice when you travel with bulky luggage, sports equipment or a party of five to eight.
• Larger minibuses (16 to 64 seats): available for organised trips, pilgrimage parties, school or club outings and company events.

When booking, state the number of passengers and the number of large suitcases, so the right vehicle is ready on arrival.

About Beauraing

Beauraing is a small town in the province of Namur, in the French-speaking part of Belgium. It is best known as a Catholic pilgrimage site, because of the Marian apparitions reported there in 1932 and 1933, and the sanctuary draws visitors throughout the year. Beyond that, the town is a quiet base for walking, cycling and exploring the surrounding countryside, with the Lesse valley and the Meuse area close by.
