Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center, Brussels

The Drive from CRL to Central Brussels

The transfer covers 59 km (37 miles) and typically takes around 49 minutes. Charleroi is south of the capital, so you travel north towards the city and finish in the busy centre. Allow extra time at weekday rush hours, when the approach to Brussels slows down, and in bad weather. If you have an early check-in or an onward connection, build in a buffer.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. It is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families can book a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, as well as a 24-seat and 32-seat option for mid-sized groups. Choose according to how many people and how many suitcases you have, and book a vehicle with a little spare room if you travel with bulky luggage.
