Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bouillon

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Bouillon

Bouillon is 126 km (79 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 28 m. The route heads south into the Ardennes, so the last part usually runs through wooded hills and river valleys rather than motorway. Allow some extra time in winter, in heavy rain or fog, and around busy holiday weekends, when traffic in the region can slow things down. This route is booked less often than others from CRL, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to 8 can take a private minibus with 8 seats, which leaves room for luggage. For bigger parties, such as wedding guests, hiking clubs or school trips, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Please state your passenger count and luggage when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

Bouillon as a destination

Bouillon is a small town in the Belgian province of Luxembourg, set in a loop of the Semois river. It is best known for its medieval castle, which is linked to Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the First Crusade. The town is a popular base for walking, kayaking and exploring the Ardennes. Its compact centre is easy to cover on foot.

Where to stay in Bouillon

Bouillon has a number of long-established hotels in and around its centre. Hôtel de la Poste sits on the town's main square and has a long history of hosting visitors. Hôtel Panorama is another well-known address, close to the castle and the river. It is worth confirming the arrival time with your hotel before you travel, especially if your flight lands late in the evening.
