Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Borsbeek

The drive from Charleroi to Borsbeek

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 18 m. Borsbeek lies on the far side of the country from Charleroi, so the journey crosses the Brussels area before continuing north towards Antwerp. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp can slow the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting booking at the other end. This route is booked less often than the main airport runs, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are usually comfortable in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or more people, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size based on your party and your bags, and tell us in advance if you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams.

Borsbeek as a destination

Borsbeek is a small, mostly residential municipality in the province of Antwerp, directly bordering the city of Antwerp. Many visitors come for business in the Antwerp region, to see family, or to use it as a quieter base close to the city. The green surroundings and calm streets make it a relaxed place to arrive after a flight.

Both are well established and easy to reach by road from Borsbeek.
