Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Biesme

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Biesme

Biesme lies 26 km (17 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive usually takes about 25 minutes. The route runs south from the airport area into the quieter countryside of the Namur province. Because it is a short transfer, you are at your accommodation soon after landing. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a driver can be arranged for your arrival time.

Allow some extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around Charleroi is heavier. Winter weather can also slow the last stretch on smaller local roads. If you have an early departure from Biesme, plan to leave a little earlier than the bare driving time suggests.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a private taxi is the simplest option. There is a taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so choose the larger one if you are travelling with bulky luggage or child seats.

For bigger parties such as wedding guests, sports teams, company trips or school outings, private minibuses are available in these sizes:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 and 40 seats for up to 32 or 40 passengers
• 48, 56 and 64 seats for up to 48, 56 or 64 passengers

Pick the size that matches your group, and leave room for suitcases and sports equipment.

About Biesme

Biesme is a small village in the municipality of Mettet, in the Belgian province of Namur, in Wallonia. It is a rural, green area with farmland, woods and quiet roads, which is why many visitors come for a peaceful stay or to visit family and friends. Shops, restaurants and other services are limited in the village itself, so it helps to have your address ready and to arrange transport in advance.

Meeting Point

After you collect your luggage, your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find from the baggage reclaim area, so you can meet without any searching around the terminal.
