Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bilstain

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Bilstain

The route covers 116 km (73 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 13 m by road. Bilstain is not one of our most frequently requested destinations, but we arrange it on request just like any other transfer. Because the journey crosses a good part of Belgium, it is sensible to allow some extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour, or when the weather is poor. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end, build in a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest option, with one version for 1-3 passengers and another for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size according to the number of passengers, and think about suitcases, sports gear or other bulky items when you book so that everything fits comfortably.

Bilstain as a destination

Bilstain is a small village in the Limbourg area of the province of Liège, in the French-speaking east of Belgium. It lies close to Verviers and the surrounding green countryside of the Vesdre valley, which makes it a quiet base rather than a busy tourist spot. Since it is a village, it helps to have the exact street address or a pin for your final stop ready, so the driver can take you right to the door.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. If you cannot see your driver straight away, stay near the café and keep your phone switched on.
