Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Eupen

The Drive from Charleroi to Eupen

Eupen lies 124 km (78 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the journey usually takes about 1 h 21 m. The road leads east across Wallonia towards the German border, so you arrive in the far east of Belgium without needing to change vehicles. 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, and in winter, when fog or snow can slow traffic on the higher ground in the east.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your group and luggage. Tell us how many people and how many bags are travelling when you book, and we will arrange the right vehicle.

A Few Words on Eupen

Eupen is the main town of Belgium's German-speaking Community, so you will hear German as much as French on the streets. It sits close to the German border and the nature of the Hautes Fagnes (High Fens) uplands, which makes it a convenient base for walks and for day trips towards Aachen and Liège. The town is also known for its lively carnival season. After a journey of this length, it helps to have the exact address of your destination ready, so the driver can take you to the door.
