Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Semmerzake

The drive from Charleroi to Semmerzake

The road journey covers 114 km (71 miles) and typically takes 1 h 15 m. The route leads north from Charleroi and crosses the Brussels region before continuing into East Flanders. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the Brussels ring and the approaches to Ghent can slow down. Semmerzake is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to 8 fit in a private minibus with 8 seats. Larger parties, such as wedding guests, school trips or company teams, can choose minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your group size and amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

About Semmerzake

Semmerzake is a small village in the municipality of Gavere in East Flanders, set in quiet countryside near the Scheldt valley. It is mainly residential, so expect a calm arrival rather than a busy town centre. Give your driver the exact street address, since village roads in this area can be narrow and easy to miss.

Where to stay nearby

Semmerzake itself has very little in the way of well-known hotels, so most visitors stay in Ghent, the nearest major city. Long-established options there include:

• NH Gent Belfort, close to the historic centre
• Novotel Gent Centrum, near the Sint-Pieters side of the city centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, housed in a converted historic mansion
