Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Opheylissem

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Opheylissem

The route covers 75 km (47 miles) and usually takes around 58 minutes. It is a road transfer through Wallonia, heading from the Charleroi area towards the Hesbaye countryside in the east of Walloon Brabant. Because the trip is made at road level and door to door, you avoid carrying luggage between stations and stops.

Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and on the main motorways can slow things down. The same applies in heavy rain or winter weather. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, build in a margin on top of the usual 58 minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and families with luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 passengers.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for bigger parties such as wedding guests, school trips, sports teams or company events.

When you book, give the exact number of passengers and the amount of luggage so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Opheylissem

Opheylissem is a small village in the province of Walloon Brabant, part of the municipality of Orp-Jauche. The surroundings are rural, with farmland and quiet roads typical of the Hesbaye region. Since the village is small, it helps to have the full street address or a house name ready for the driver, so the drop-off is exact.
