Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Meise

The drive from Charleroi to Meise

The route covers 69 km (43 miles) and typically takes around 48 minutes. Meise lies north-west of Brussels, so the journey runs north from Charleroi and skirts the Brussels area. Traffic around the capital is the main variable: morning and evening rush hours can stretch the trip, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver handles the whole way door to door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in the terminal, 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 building.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is available in two sizes: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or more luggage, private minibuses are offered with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your passenger count and bags, and tell us about any extra items such as sports equipment or pushchairs when you book.

Meise as a destination

Meise is a municipality in Flemish Brabant, just outside Brussels, and its Dutch-speaking character is noticeable as soon as you arrive. It is best known for the Plantentuin Meise, the national botanical garden, whose grounds include the Bouchout Castle. Many visitors come for the garden itself, while others are heading to business addresses or family in the surrounding villages. The area is quiet and green compared with the capital, which makes a direct transfer from the airport a comfortable way to arrive.

Please give your driver the exact street address in Meise when you book. Some residential streets are narrow, and a precise address lets the driver plan the final approach and drop you right at the door.
