Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Gentbrugge

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.

The Drive to Gentbrugge

The route covers 107 km (67 miles) and typically takes 1 h 11 m. Most of the way is on motorway, heading north through Wallonia and Flanders towards Ghent. Gentbrugge lies on the eastern side of the city, so you avoid the busiest central streets. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent slow down, and in bad weather. Gentbrugge is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

About Gentbrugge

Gentbrugge is a residential district of Ghent, east of the historic centre along the River Scheldt. It has its own railway station and is a quiet base, yet the old town with its canals and medieval buildings is only a short ride away.
