Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Thon Residence Parnasse, Brussels

The drive from Charleroi to Parnasse

The transfer from Charleroi Airport Brussels South to Thon Residence Parnasse covers 58 km (37 miles) and normally takes around 53 minutes. The route heads north towards the Brussels region and ends in the city centre, close to the European Quarter. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the last stretch into town, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a meeting or a check-in deadline. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver is briefed on the destination before you land.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage and walked into the arrivals area.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are usually comfortable in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For groups, minibuses come with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so a school trip, a conference delegation or a wedding party can be matched with a suitable vehicle. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, mention it when booking so the right vehicle is assigned.

Places to stay in central Brussels

Thon Residence Parnasse is a hotel-style residence in Brussels, and the surrounding area offers plenty of alternatives if you are comparing options. Well-known, long-established hotels in central Brussels include:

• Hotel Metropole, a historic Belle Époque hotel on Place de Brouckère
• Hotel Amigo, a long-standing hotel close to the Grand-Place
• Le Plaza Brussels, a classic hotel near the Botanique and the city's northern centre

All of them are within the same city as your drop-off, so the same transfer service applies if your plans change.

Practical tip for arrival

Have the full address of your accommodation to hand, along with a phone number you can be reached on. Central Brussels has many one-way streets and short stopping zones, and a precise address helps your driver choose the best drop-off point right at the entrance.
