Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Laarne

The Drive from Charleroi to Laarne

The transfer covers 106 km (66 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 9 m. You travel from the Walloon south of Belgium into East Flanders, so the road passes close to the Brussels ring and the Ghent area. Rush hours on the Brussels ring can add noticeable time, so allow a buffer if you have a tight onward appointment, a ferry or an event in Laarne. Your driver follows the live traffic situation and chooses the most sensible route on the day.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Just head there and look for your name.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The route is booked less often than the airport's busiest ones, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle options are:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families with luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 passengers.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats for wedding parties, sports teams or company groups.
• Private Minibus 40, 48, 56 and 64 Seats for large delegations, tour groups and event transfers.

Choose according to the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you bring.

About Laarne

Laarne is a quiet municipality in East Flanders, in the countryside between Ghent and Wetteren. It is best known for Laarne Castle, a moated castle with medieval origins that is one of the region's notable heritage sites. The area is mostly residential and green, so a door-to-door transfer is often more convenient than piecing together a trip from several connections.

Where to Stay Near Laarne

Laarne itself is a small place, so many visitors stay in Ghent, the nearest major city. Well-known options there include:

• NH Gent Belfort, in the historic centre.
• Marriott Ghent Hotel, on the Korenlei by the river.
• Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof, in a historic townhouse setting.
