Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Melsen

The drive from Charleroi to Melsen

The route covers 107 km (67 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. Melsen lies in East Flanders, so most of the journey is on Belgian motorways heading north-west across the country. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting booking at the end of your trip, build in a buffer.

Which vehicle suits your group

Solo travellers, couples and small families are usually best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the 1-4 option if you travel with a bit more luggage. For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so a wedding party, a sports team or a company outing can be covered by the right vehicle. Tell us your passenger count and luggage when booking and we will match the vehicle.

Melsen and where to stay nearby

Melsen is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Merelbeke, close to the city of Ghent. It has a green, residential character, and most visitors come to see family or friends, or to use it as a calm base near Ghent.

Melsen itself has few well-known hotels, so the nearest larger city, Ghent, is the usual choice for accommodation. Established options there include:

• NH Gent Belfort, in the historic centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, in a converted 19th-century mansion
• Sandton Grand Hotel Reylof, in a former townhouse near the centre

Your driver can take you to any of these or to a private address in Melsen. Just give us the exact destination when you book.
