Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Schilde

The Drive from Charleroi to Schilde

The route covers 114 km (71 miles) and typically takes 1 h 26 m. You travel from the south of Belgium to the north-east of the Antwerp area, so most of the journey is on motorway. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and on the Antwerp ring road can slow things down. Since this is an occasionally booked route, your driver will have your exact address and arrival details in advance.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, families or small business groups, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose from a range of private minibuses, from 8 seats up to 64 seats in steps of eight (8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64). Pick the size that leaves room for everyone's suitcases, especially after a longer flight. Wedding parties, school trips and company outings can all be accommodated.

Schilde as a Destination

Schilde is a quiet, green municipality in the province of Antwerp, north-east of the city of Antwerp. It is mainly residential and wooded, which makes it popular with people who want a calm base within easy reach of the city. Visitors usually come for family visits, local business or a relaxed stay away from the centre.

Where to Stay Near Schilde

Schilde itself has only a limited choice of well-known hotels, so most travellers stay in the nearest large city, Antwerp, which is close by. Established options there include:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel Antwerp, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hotel Julien, a boutique hotel in the old town

Your driver can take you directly to any of these or to a private address in Schilde.
