Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Namur

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver.

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Namur

The route covers 42 km (27 miles) and usually takes around 33 minutes. It is a regularly booked transfer, and the road is straightforward, heading east from the airport towards Namur. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or winter weather, and when events fill the city centre. If you have a train, meeting or hotel check-in to make, build in a little buffer after landing.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. Groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits business delegations, school trips, sports teams and wedding parties travelling together. If you are unsure which size fits your luggage, choose the next size up.

Public Transport Between CRL and Namur

Bus to Charleroi-Sud station, then train to Namur, 1 change required, approx. 70–90 minutes total. The total depends on how well the bus and train connections line up. The private transfer avoids the change and the waiting, which helps after a late arrival or with heavy bags.

Namur as a Destination

Namur is the capital of Wallonia and sits where the Sambre meets the Meuse. Its hilltop Citadel is the best-known landmark and gives wide views over the rivers and the old town. The compact centre has cobbled streets, squares, cafés and restaurants, and most of it is easy to explore on foot. The city is popular with business visitors, students and anyone heading into the Meuse valley.

Where to Stay in Namur

• Château de Namur – a hotel in a castle-style building on the Citadel hill, with views over the city.
• Les Tanneurs de Namur – a hotel in the old centre, in restored former tannery buildings.
• Ibis Namur Centre – a practical option close to the centre and the railway station.

Give your driver the full hotel name at booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly, especially in the pedestrian-friendly old town.
