Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Dinant

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight to your transfer.

The Drive from CRL to Dinant

The journey covers 70 km (44 miles) and typically takes around 52 minutes. It is a regularly booked route, popular with visitors heading for the Meuse valley, with a road trip that leaves the Charleroi area behind and continues into the greener, hillier landscape of the province of Namur. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or on busy summer weekends, when traffic around Dinant itself can be slower than the motorway stretches. If you have a tight connection, such as a boat trip, a restaurant reservation or a hotel check-in deadline, build in a small buffer rather than planning to the minute.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. We offer taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so check your luggage as well as your headcount before booking. Groups can choose private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit wedding parties, school trips, company outings, cycling or kayaking groups and multi-family holidays. If you are travelling with bulky items such as bicycles, sports bags or several large suitcases, pick the next size up so everyone rides in comfort.

Dinant as a Destination

Dinant sits on the banks of the River Meuse, squeezed between the water and steep limestone cliffs. Its best-known sights include the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame with its distinctive bulbous spire, and the Citadel high above the town, which you can reach by cable car or on foot. The town is also the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone, and it is associated with Leffe beer and the hard honey biscuits known as couques de Dinant. Kayaking on the Meuse, riverside walks and rock climbing nearby make it a favourite for active weekends as well as quiet breaks.

Where to Stay in Dinant

Two well-known places to stay are the Castel de Pont-à-Lesse, a castle-style hotel set in parkland just outside the centre, and the Hôtel de la Couronne, a traditional hotel close to the town centre and the river. Both are easy to reach by road, and you can give your driver the exact address when booking so the drop-off is as close to the entrance as possible.
