Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Dour

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Dour

Dour lies 67 km (42 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive usually takes around 48 minutes. The route runs west through the province of Hainaut, so you reach Dour without going near the Brussels ring. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time during morning and evening rush hours, in heavy rain or winter weather, and around the busy summer festival days in the area.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they bring:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats for friends, extended families or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus with 24 to 64 seats for tour groups, sports clubs, school trips and festival parties.

If you are unsure which size suits your group and luggage, mention it when you book and we will help you pick.

About Dour

Dour is a municipality in the Borinage region of Hainaut, close to Mons and the French border. It is a quiet, largely residential area with a former mining past. Most people know it for the Dour Festival, a large music event held every summer. Because the town is small, a door-to-door transfer is often the most straightforward way to arrive, whether your destination is a private address, a festival site or a hotel in the surrounding area.
