Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ligny

The drive from CRL to Ligny

Ligny lies 17 km (11 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the journey by road typically takes about 15 minutes. It is one of the shorter transfers from CRL, so you can be at your destination soon after landing. This route is booked less often than the busy city runs, but it is available on request like any other. Allow some extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, or in poor weather, as local roads can slow down. The same applies if you are driving to the airport for an early departure.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest option. We offer one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so a family with a few suitcases fits comfortably. If your group is bigger, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit wedding parties, school trips, sports teams and company events heading to the area. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

Ligny as a destination

Ligny is a small village in the municipality of Sombreffe, in the Walloon province of Namur. It is best known for the Battle of Ligny on 16 June 1815, when Napoleon defeated the Prussian army two days before Waterloo. The surrounding countryside is quiet and mostly agricultural. Visitors often come for the Napoleonic history or to attend local events and family occasions. Because there is little in the way of large-scale services in the village itself, a pre-booked transfer saves you from searching for transport on arrival.
