The Drive from CRL to The Dominican

The distance between Charleroi Airport and central Brussels is 67 km (42 miles), and the typical driving time is 58 minutes. The route heads north towards the capital, and the last stretch through the city centre is usually the slowest part. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, traffic on the approach to Brussels can build up, so allow some extra time if you have a tight appointment, a dinner reservation or a train to catch.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you have more people or a lot of luggage, the minibus range starts with an 8-seat model and continues with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64-seat options. This makes the route suitable for business delegations, wedding parties, school trips and tour groups as well as individual guests. Tell us your passenger count and luggage when booking, and we will match the vehicle to your group.

About The Dominican, Brussels

The Dominican is a hotel in the centre of Brussels, a short walk from the Grand Place and the opera house La Monnaie. The area is lively and full of restaurants, cafés and shops, and many of the city's main sights can be reached on foot. Streets in the old centre can be narrow, and some are pedestrian-only, so your driver will stop at the nearest practical point to the entrance.

Other Places to Stay in Central Brussels

If The Dominican is not your final base, or you are comparing options in the same area, several long-established hotels are also in the city centre. Hotel Amigo sits right beside the Grand Place and is one of the best-known addresses in the old town. Hotel Metropole on Place de Brouckère is a historic grand hotel that has welcomed guests since the 19th century.
