Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ocquier

Meeting Point

Once you have collected your luggage, head to Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign.

The Drive from Charleroi to Ocquier

The route covers 90 km (56 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 3 m. You leave the Charleroi area and travel south-east into Wallonia, where the landscape gradually turns greener and hillier. The final stretch runs on smaller country roads, so the last part feels slower than the motorway section.

Plan some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in winter. Fog, frost and roadworks can add minutes in this part of Belgium. If you have a tight connection, such as a check-in time at your accommodation or a reserved dinner, build in a small buffer.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. If you are travelling with several suitcases, it is worth choosing the larger option.

Groups of five or more can book a private minibus. The range starts at 8 seats and goes up in steps of 8 to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding parties, company retreats and club trips heading to the Ardennes countryside.

Ocquier and Where to Stay Nearby

Ocquier is a small rural village in Wallonia, set in green, rolling countryside. It is a quiet base for walking, cycling and a break from the city. Because the village is small, most visitors choose accommodation in the surrounding area.

I cannot name well-known hotels in Ocquier itself with confidence. The nearest well-known tourist town is Durbuy, which has long-established places to stay such as:

• Le Sanglier des Ardennes, a hotel and restaurant in the centre of Durbuy
• Le Clos des Récollets, a hotel in Durbuy's old town

If you stay in Durbuy or in a holiday home near Ocquier, give us the exact address when booking. Your driver can then take you straight to the door.
