Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hollebeke

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in 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 from Charleroi to Hollebeke

The trip covers 146 km (91 miles) and typically takes 1 h 36 m. It is a long transfer, so it is worth leaving some buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a dinner reservation at the other end. Heavy traffic around the Brussels ring or on the western motorways can add time, especially during weekday rush hours. If you are travelling at those times, allow extra margin in your plans.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is available for either 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger option if you carry several suitcases or travel with children. For groups, private minibuses run in sizes from 8 up to 64 seats, so a school trip, a battlefield tour group or a wedding party can all be accommodated. Hollebeke is a less frequently booked destination, so please reserve in advance and the transfer will be arranged on request.

About Hollebeke

Hollebeke is a small village in West Flanders, part of the municipality of Ieper (Ypres). The area is quiet and mostly rural, and it is closely tied to the First World War, as the front line ran through this part of the Ypres Salient. Visitors often come for the surrounding countryside, the walking and cycling routes nearby and the battlefield heritage in the wider region. Facilities in the village itself are limited, so most travellers arrange their stay in nearby Ypres.

Where to Stay Near Hollebeke

Hollebeke itself has very little in the way of well-known hotels, so the nearest reliable choice is the town of Ypres (Ieper), a short drive away. Established options there include:

• Novotel Ieper Centrum, a modern hotel close to the town centre
• Hotel Ariane, a long-running hotel in Ypres, popular with visitors to the battlefields

If your hotel is in Ypres rather than Hollebeke, just give the driver the address when booking and the drop-off can be arranged accordingly.
