Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Sint-Kruis-Winkel

The drive from Charleroi to Sint-Kruis-Winkel

The route covers 121 km (76 miles) and typically takes 1 h 18 m. It runs from the south of Belgium across to the Ghent area in the north. Since the road passes near Brussels, weekday rush hours can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival. This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like any other.

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. If your party is bigger or you carry a lot of luggage, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up to 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your group, whether it is a family reunion, a work team or a club trip.

Sint-Kruis-Winkel as a destination

Sint-Kruis-Winkel is a district in the north of Ghent, in East Flanders, close to the Dutch border. It is mostly residential and sits at the edge of the city, so it suits visitors who want a quieter base while still being near Ghent's historic centre. Its position near the border also makes it practical for onward trips towards the Netherlands.

I cannot name well-known, long-established places to stay in Sint-Kruis-Winkel itself with confidence. Most visitors therefore choose accommodation in Ghent, which Sint-Kruis-Winkel belongs to. Established options there include the Marriott Ghent on the Korenlei, the NH Gent Belfort near the Belfry and the Hotel Gravensteen in the historic centre. Your driver can take you to any of these addresses or directly to a private address in Sint-Kruis-Winkel.
