Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bierbeek

Meeting Point

Once you have collected your luggage, head to Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the terminal. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign, so you can spot them straight away.

The Drive from Charleroi to Bierbeek

The route covers 62 km (39 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 0 m. Bierbeek lies east of Brussels, so most of the trip runs across the Brussels region before you reach the quieter roads of Flemish Brabant. Allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around Brussels and Leuven tends to build up. A direct private transfer means no waiting for connections and no luggage to carry between stations.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport transfers, but it is available on request just like any other. For small parties you can choose a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Families with extra bags or groups of friends can take a private minibus with 8 seats. For larger parties, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, which suits wedding guests, school trips, sports teams and company events.

About Bierbeek

Bierbeek is a small, rural municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, close to the university city of Leuven. It is made up of several villages, including Opvelp, Korbeek-Dijle and Lovenjoel, and the landscape is green and gently rolling. Visitors usually come to see family, attend local events or use it as a quiet base near Leuven. Since the area is small, please give your driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off goes smoothly.

Where to Stay Near Bierbeek

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted monastery building in the city centre
• Martin's Patershof, a hotel in a former monastery of the Minorite friars
• Pentahotel Leuven, a modern hotel close to the centre and the railway station
