Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Blégny

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and look for your name.

The Drive from Charleroi to Blégny

The route covers 101 km (63 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 5 m. You travel from the Hainaut region eastwards into the province of Liège, so the journey is a straight run across Wallonia with no border crossing. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush, when traffic around Namur and Liège slows down. Bad winter weather can also add minutes. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting plan in Blégny, it is sensible to leave a little buffer. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver plans it from the start with you.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they carry:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats) for tour groups, company delegations, sports teams and wedding parties.

If you are unsure, pick the next size up when you have bulky luggage such as sports gear or musical instruments.

About Blégny

It lies in a green, rolling landscape east of Liège and is best known for Blégny-Mine, a former coal mine that is now a museum and part of the UNESCO-listed Major Mining Sites of Wallonia.

Where to Stay Near Blégny

Both are established, full-service city hotels. If your accommodation is in the countryside around Blégny, give the driver the exact address when you book, since small rural lanes are easier to navigate with the full address.
