Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Dikkebus

The Drive from Charleroi to Dikkebus

The route covers 154 km (96 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 41 m. Dikkebus lies in the far west of Belgium, so this is a long ride across the country. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, or if your onward plans are tight. A private transfer saves you from planning connections to a village that is not on the main rail network.

Meeting Point

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

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For small parties there are private taxis, one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your party size when booking, and we will assign a vehicle that gives everyone enough room.

About Dikkebus

Dikkebus is a village in the municipality of Ieper (Ypres) in West Flanders. It is best known for Dikkebus Lake, a reservoir that has long supplied water to the area, and for its quiet, rural surroundings. The village sits in the First World War battlefield region, and many visitors come to see the memorials, museums and cemeteries around Ypres. The landscape is flat and green, which suits walking and cycling.

Where to Stay near Dikkebus

Dikkebus is small, and I cannot name a long-established hotel there with confidence. The nearest town with well-known accommodation is Ieper, a few kilometres away. Options there include:

• Hotel Ariane, a established hotel in Ieper with a wellness area
• Hotel Regina, a long-standing hotel in the town centre close to the Grote Markt

Give your driver the full address of your accommodation when booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
