Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Raeren

The drive from Charleroi to Raeren

The route covers 133 km (83 miles) and typically takes 1 h 24 m. It runs from the Charleroi area across Wallonia towards the German-speaking east of Belgium, close to the border with Germany. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours, or in poor winter weather, since the eastern part of the trip can be affected by fog and snow.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Choose the size by head count and think about luggage, because suitcases take space too. If you are unsure, tell us the number of travellers and bags when you request the transfer.

About Raeren

Raeren is a municipality in the province of Liège, within Belgium's German-speaking Community. It lies just a few kilometres from the German border and the city of Aachen, in a green landscape on the edge of the High Fens region. The village is known for its long tradition of stoneware pottery, and Burg Raeren, a moated castle, houses a pottery museum. Many visitors come for walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside, or to visit family and business contacts in the area. Eupen is the nearest larger town.
