Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Durbuy

The drive from CRL to Durbuy

The route from Charleroi Airport Brussels South to Durbuy covers 95 km (59 miles) and typically takes 1 h 8 m. The final part of the journey leaves the motorways and heads into the Ardennes on smaller roads, so it is sensible to allow extra time during rush hours, in wintry weather or on busy summer weekends. Durbuy is not a place you pass through by accident. A private transfer saves you from planning a route that would otherwise need several changes and a taxi at the end.

Choosing the right vehicle

Two options suit small parties: a private taxi for 1-3 passengers or one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage, golf bags or outdoor gear, the 8-seat minibus gives you more room even for a smaller group. For wedding parties, school trips, company outings or family reunions, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available on request. This route is booked less often than others, so it is best to reserve in advance.

Durbuy as a destination

Durbuy lies on the Ourthe river in the Belgian province of Luxembourg and is often described as one of the smallest towns in the world. Its old centre has narrow cobbled streets, stone houses and small restaurants, and the surrounding hills and forests attract walkers, cyclists and canoeists. It is also known for its topiary park. The streets in the historic centre are tight, so the driver will drop you at the closest practical point to your accommodation.

Where to stay in Durbuy

Durbuy has a number of long-established hotels. Well-known names include Le Sanglier des Ardennes, Hostellerie Le Vieux Durbuy and Le Clos des Récollets. All are in or close to the old town, so you can reach the main sights on foot. Give your driver the exact name and address when you book so the drop-off is smooth.
