Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Brielen

The drive from Charleroi to Brielen

The route covers 151 km (94 miles) and typically takes 1 h 35 m. You travel across Belgium from Hainaut into West Flanders, mostly on motorways, and the last stretch leads through quieter local roads to the village. Brielen is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in heavy rain, as traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow the journey.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families fit comfortably in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups with more people or more luggage can book a private minibus. The sizes are:

• 8 seats for a larger family or a small group of friends
• 16, 24 or 32 seats for clubs, school trips and mid-sized parties
• 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour groups, events and big delegations

Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your group.

Brielen and where to stay nearby

Brielen is a small village in West Flanders and part of the municipality of Ieper (Ypres). It lies just outside the town in flat, green countryside close to the Yser canal, and it is a quiet base for visitors exploring the Westhoek and its First World War sites. For accommodation, the nearest town with well-known hotels is Ieper, only a few minutes away. Established options there include:

• Novotel Ieper Centrum
• Hotel Ariane
• Hotel Regina

Check with your host or hotel about the exact drop-off address, since some small streets around the village are narrow.

Meeting Point
