Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Catalonia Brussels

The Drive from Charleroi to Brussels

The route from Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Catalonia Brussels covers 54 km (34 miles) and typically takes about 48 minutes. Most of the journey is on the motorway towards the Belgian capital, so the final stretch through the city is where delays usually build up. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or if you have a tight check-in or appointment on arrival. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver takes you directly to the door without stops.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry bulky bags or travel with a child seat. For bigger parties, private minibuses are offered with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits school trips, conference delegations, wedding guests and tour groups arriving on the same flight. Tell us your group size and how much luggage you have when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

Catalonia Brussels as a Destination

Catalonia Brussels lies in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the seat of the European institutions. The city is compact, with the historic centre, the Grand Place and the main railway stations all close together. A private transfer saves you from carrying luggage across platforms and tram stops after your flight, which is a real advantage on a longer ride out of Charleroi.
