Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lennik

The Drive from Charleroi to Lennik

The route covers 63 km (39 miles) and usually takes about 48 minutes. Lennik lies southwest of Brussels, so the journey runs north from Charleroi and skirts the capital's busy ring road. Traffic on that stretch builds up at weekday rush hours, so it is sensible to add extra time if your arrival or departure falls between early morning and about 9 a.m., or in the late afternoon. Bad weather can also slow things down, particularly in winter. This route is booked less often than the big Brussels connections, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so there is no need to search the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle is chosen by group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for solo travellers, couples and families with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for groups of up to 8 who travel with more bags or want extra room.
• Larger private minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour groups, wedding parties, school trips and company events.

If you are unsure which option suits your party, choose according to the number of people and large suitcases. A little extra space makes a transfer after a flight more comfortable.

About Lennik

Lennik is a municipality in Flemish Brabant, in the green, rolling Pajottenland region just outside Brussels. The area is known for its countryside, its walking and cycling routes and its traditional lambic beer culture. The Castle of Gaasbeek, in the Lennik municipality, is one of the best-known sights nearby. A private transfer takes you straight to your address, which is useful in a rural area where local connections can be limited and luggage is heavy after a flight.
