Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Geluveld

The drive from Charleroi to Geluveld

The route covers 140 km (87 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 28 m. You cross much of Belgium from the Walloon south to the western edge of Flanders. Geluveld is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request like any other. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, and on summer weekends, when traffic towards the West Flanders region is heavier. If you are heading to a ceremony, a tour or a hotel check-in, build a little buffer into your plans.

About Geluveld

Geluveld is a village in West Flanders, close to Ypres (Ieper) and within the municipality of Zonnebeke. It lies in the Westhoek, a region of flat farmland and quiet roads that is closely tied to the First World War. The name appears in history books as Gheluvelt, after the fighting there in 1914. Many visitors come to see the nearby memorials, cemeteries and museums, or to cycle the surrounding countryside. Geluveld itself is small and mostly residential, so most visitors stay or dine in the larger towns around it.

Where to stay near Geluveld

Geluveld has little in the way of established hotels, so most travellers stay in nearby Ypres (Ieper), a short drive away. Well-known options there include:

• Hotel Ariane, a long-standing hotel in Ypres.
• Albion Hotel, close to the historic centre of Ypres.

Give your driver the exact address at booking, whether it is in Geluveld or Ypres, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
