Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Burcht

The drive from Charleroi to Burcht

The route covers 104 km (65 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 15 m. It leads north across Belgium towards the Antwerp area, so most of the journey is on motorway. Burcht is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, since traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can slow things down. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add some minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families can choose a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your group and your luggage, so everyone travels comfortably after a flight.

Burcht as a destination

Burcht is a village in the municipality of Zwijndrecht, in East Flanders. It lies on the left bank of the Scheldt, directly opposite the city of Antwerp. The setting is quiet and residential, and the centre of Antwerp is close by.

Where to stay near Burcht

Burcht itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so most visitors stay in nearby Antwerp, just across the river. Long-established choices there include:

• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hotel Julien, a boutique hotel in the old town
