Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Messe Berlin, Brussels

The Drive from Charleroi to Messe Berlin

This is a long-distance transfer of 761 km (473 miles), with a typical driving time of 7 h 41 m. It is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but we arrange it on request just like any other. On a journey of this length, plan for extra time around rush hours, busy holiday weekends and roadworks, and expect at least one short rest stop. If you have a trade fair opening or a fixed appointment at the exhibition grounds, build in a generous buffer so you arrive relaxed rather than rushed.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers): comfortable for solo travellers, couples or colleagues with luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suits a family or a small team of four.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good choice for groups with trade fair equipment or extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for delegations, tour parties and company outings of up to 32 people.

On a ride of more than seven hours, extra legroom and luggage space make a real difference, so choose a size up if you are unsure.

About Messe Berlin

Messe Berlin is the name of Berlin's large exhibition and congress grounds, home to well-known international trade fairs throughout the year. Hall entrances, parking and drop-off points differ by event, so check your organiser's instructions for the right gate and give the driver the entrance name in advance.

Where to Stay Near Messe Berlin

Hotels in the immediate surroundings of the grounds depend on the event, so here are a few long-established names in Berlin itself. The Hotel Adlon Kempinski stands beside the Brandenburg Gate and is among the city's best-known addresses. The Hotel Palace Berlin sits in the Europa-Center in the west of the city centre, and the Estrel Berlin is one of Germany's largest hotels, with its own congress facilities. Book early when a major fair is running, as rooms fill quickly.
