Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Boutersem

The drive from Charleroi to Boutersem

The route covers 82 km (51 miles) and typically takes 1 h 6 m. Boutersem lies in Flemish Brabant, so the journey leads you north-east from Charleroi, past the Brussels area and on towards Leuven. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can build up during the morning and evening rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Because the transfer is private and booked in advance, there are no stops for other passengers along the way.

Which vehicle fits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, the Private Taxi is available in two versions: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage, choose the version with more room rather than filling every seat. The Private Minibus with 8 seats suits groups of up to eight. For larger parties such as wedding guests, school trips or company events, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Boutersem is a route we serve on request rather than daily, so it is best to book ahead and tell us your group size and luggage.

About Boutersem

Boutersem is a small municipality in the Flemish Brabant province, between Leuven and Tienen. It is made up of several villages set in quiet, rolling countryside, and it has a rural, residential character. Visitors usually come to see family and friends, for local events, or to stay somewhere calmer than the city while keeping Leuven close by.

Places to stay near Boutersem

Boutersem itself is small, so most travellers look at accommodation in nearby Leuven, a short drive away. Well-known options there include:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a restored former convent
• Ibis Leuven Centrum, close to the city centre and the railway station
• Park Inn by Radisson Leuven, a larger hotel with conference facilities

Tell the driver your exact address when booking, whether it is a hotel in Leuven or a private address in one of the Boutersem villages.
