Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Sambreville

The drive from CRL to Sambreville

Sambreville lies 19 km (12 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the drive normally takes around 17 minutes. That makes it a short hop, well suited to late arrivals when you simply want to get to your bed. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, or in bad winter weather, especially if you have to be somewhere at a fixed time. This route is booked less often than others from the airport, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

Pick the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, the usual choice for solo travellers, couples and families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for groups, teams, wedding parties and company events, with capacity from 16 up to 64 passengers.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the next one up when you have bulky luggage such as sports equipment or several large suitcases.

Where to stay near Sambreville

Sambreville itself has few well-known hotels, so most visitors look at the nearby city of Namur, the provincial capital, a short drive up the Sambre valley. Established options there include the Novotel Namur and Les Tanneurs de Namur, a small hotel in the old town. Please check the current availability and location with the hotel before you book.
