Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Wijtschate

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 go straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Wijtschate

The route covers 155 km (97 miles) and typically takes 1 h 42 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west across Belgium into West Flanders before the final stretch on local roads. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent can slow down, or on busy summer weekends. Wijtschate is a small village in the municipality of Heuvelland, close to Ypres (Ieper). It is best known for its First World War history, as it lies on the Messines Ridge, and the surrounding hills and farmland make it a quiet base for visiting the battlefields of the Westhoek.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, families and small groups, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Luggage space is worth considering when you book, especially after a long flight. If your party is larger, such as a school trip, a tour group or a wedding party, we offer Private Minibuses starting at 8 seats and going up in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 to 64 seats. Choose the size that matches your head count and the bags you are bringing, and the driver takes you directly to your door in Wijtschate.
