Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Strombeek

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Strombeek

The route covers 68 km (42 miles) and normally takes about 47 minutes. Most of it is motorway driving north towards Brussels, followed by the final stretch through the northern suburbs. Traffic around the Brussels ring road can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make.

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers is the natural choice. Larger parties can book a private minibus, with options from 8 seats up to 64 seats, which suits business groups, wedding guests, school trips and event delegations. Groups of any size can travel together to the same address without splitting up.

About Strombeek

Strombeek, usually written Strombeek-Bever, lies just north of Brussels and belongs to the municipality of Grimbergen in Flemish Brabant. It is a mostly residential area with a quiet, suburban feel, and it is well placed for reaching the capital, the Heysel area and the ring road. Because it is a residential district rather than a tourist hub, giving your driver the exact street address is the easiest way to guarantee a smooth drop-off.

Places to Stay Nearby

Strombeek itself has little in the way of well-known hotels. Most visitors therefore choose accommodation in nearby Brussels city centre, a short drive away. Long-established options there include:

• Hotel Metropole, a historic grand hotel on Place de Brouckère
• Hotel Amigo, a well-known hotel right next to the Grand Place
• Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place, a central international-brand hotel

If your final destination is a private address in Strombeek, simply provide it when booking and the driver will take you there directly.
