Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Warwick Grand-Place Brussels

The drive from CRL to central Brussels

The route covers 58 km (36 miles) and typically takes around 53 minutes. You leave the Charleroi area by motorway and head north towards the capital, then continue through the city streets to the Grand-Place district. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, when the approach to the centre slows noticeably. Events and roadworks in the historic centre can also add a few minutes at the very end of the trip.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a Private Taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases or as a group of up to eight, the 8-seat Private Minibus gives everyone more room. Larger parties are not a problem either: pick the vehicle size that matches your group when you book, and the driver will handle the luggage.

Warwick Grand-Place Brussels and its surroundings

The hotel sits in the old centre of Brussels, within walking distance of the Grand-Place, the city's famous main square. Most of the historic core is pedestrianised or has restricted traffic, so your driver will stop as close to the entrance as local rules allow. From there, shops, chocolate makers, cafés and the Manneken Pis are only a short stroll away.

Other places to stay nearby

If you are comparing options in the same area, two long-established addresses close to the Grand-Place are Hotel Amigo, a well-known hotel just off the square, and the Hotel Métropole on Place de Brouckère, a landmark dating back to the 19th century. Both are in central Brussels, so the transfer from Charleroi Airport follows the same route and takes about the same time.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in the airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.
