Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Binche

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Binche

The route covers 30 km (19 miles) and usually takes about 30 minutes. It is a straightforward run from the airport into the Hainaut countryside, with no need to cross Brussels. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, and when the weather is poor, especially if you have a train or an event booking soon after landing. For the return trip to the airport, build in a comfortable buffer before check-in closes.

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 for groups of up to eight who bring extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour groups, wedding parties, school trips and company travel.

Choose the vehicle by the number of passengers, and add a seat or two if your group is travelling with bulky luggage.

About Binche

Binche is a small historic town in the province of Hainaut. It is best known for its Carnival, which takes place before Lent and features the costumed Gilles. The Carnival is recognised by UNESCO. The town also has medieval ramparts that still surround much of the old centre, and a central Grand-Place dominated by the town hall. If you are visiting during Carnival time, expect road closures and crowds in the centre. Tell us your exact drop-off address in advance, so the driver can plan the best approach and the last stretch on foot, if needed.
