Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lapscheure

The drive from Charleroi to Lapscheure

The route covers 148 km (92 miles) and typically takes 1 h 41 m. It crosses Belgium from the Walloon south to the flat polder country of West Flanders, close to the Dutch border. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, or in bad weather, since the last stretch runs on smaller regional roads. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, and the 8-seat minibus suits groups with extra luggage. Pick the option by passenger count and the number of suitcases, and you will have room to spread out for the nearly two-hour ride.

Visitors usually come for the countryside, cycling routes and the nearby historic towns rather than for large-scale tourism.

Where to stay near Lapscheure
