Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Kalken

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with 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 Kalken

The journey covers 96 km (60 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. Kalken is a less frequently requested destination, but the transfer is arranged just like any other route and is available on request. The road leads you from the Charleroi area across central Belgium towards East Flanders. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a ceremony or a connecting booking at the other end.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the version that matches your party and luggage. Larger parties, such as wedding guests, company teams or tour groups, can book a private minibus. Seat counts run from 8 up to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 passengers, so there is a suitable size for almost any group travelling to Kalken. If you are carrying a lot of bags, sports equipment or baby seats, mention it when booking so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Kalken

Kalken is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Laarne in East Flanders. It is a residential area with a rural character, set in the green countryside between Ghent and the Scheldt valley. Visitors usually come to see family, attend local events or stay in the wider Ghent region. As the village is small, it helps to give your driver the exact street address in advance.

Where to Stay Near Kalken

Kalken itself has very limited accommodation, so most visitors choose a hotel in Ghent, the nearest larger city with a broad choice. Well-established options there include:

• Marriott Ghent Hotel, on the Korenlei by the Leie river in the historic centre
• Hotel Erasmus, a characterful hotel in the old town
• Hotel Gravensteen, housed in a former patrician residence close to the Gravensteen castle

Your driver can take you directly to any of these addresses or to a private address in Kalken.
