Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Drogenbos

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Drogenbos

The route covers 49 km (31 miles) and usually takes around 34 minutes. Drogenbos lies just south of Brussels, so the final stretch runs close to the capital's southern edge. Traffic around Brussels can build up in the morning and late afternoon, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a tight appointment or a connection to catch. This is an occasionally booked route, and every transfer is a private one: the vehicle is yours alone, with no shared stops on the way.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to the Starbucks inside the airport, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers depending on how much luggage you carry. For bigger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so family gatherings, work teams and event parties can arrive together. Choose the vehicle by the number of travellers in your party, and keep in mind that suitcases and sports equipment take up space too.

Drogenbos as a Destination

Drogenbos is a small municipality in Flemish Brabant on the southern border of Brussels. It is a quiet, largely residential place with a modest local centre and a castle that gives the village some character. Visitors usually come here for business, to see family or to stay somewhere calmer than central Brussels while remaining close to the city.

Places to Stay Near Drogenbos

Drogenbos itself has little in the way of well-known, long-established hotels, so the nearest reliable choice is the city of Brussels, which lies right next to the municipality. Established names there include Hotel Metropole, a historic grand hotel on Place de Brouckère, and Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand-Place. The Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place is another recognised option in the city centre. Tell us your exact hotel or address when booking and the driver will take you straight there.
