Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Koolkerke

The drive from Charleroi to Koolkerke

The route covers 153 km (96 miles) and typically takes 1 h 43 m. It runs from the Hainaut region across central Belgium and into West Flanders. Koolkerke is not a high-volume destination for us, but we arrange this transfer on request just like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, or on busy holiday weekends, when traffic on the main motorways can slow the journey.

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 without searching the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families and small groups there are two private taxi options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up in steps of eight through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats to a 64-seat coach. Pick the size that gives everyone comfortable room for their bags, and tell us the passenger count when you book.

About Koolkerke

Koolkerke is a quiet, mostly residential district in the northeast of Bruges, part of the city since the municipal merger of 1971. It lies near the canals that run out of Bruges toward Damme, and the green, flat surroundings suit walking and cycling. The historic centre of Bruges is a short ride away, so many visitors use Koolkerke as a calmer base.

Where to stay nearby

I cannot name accommodation in Koolkerke itself with confidence, so here are established hotels in neighbouring Bruges, a few minutes away by car:

• Hotel Navarra, a traditional hotel in a historic building in the centre.
• Hotel de Tuilerieën, a well-known hotel beside one of the canals.
• Hotel Die Swaene, a long-standing canal-side hotel near the Dijver.

Give your driver the exact hotel or street address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
