"Charleroi Airport to Brussels" Top 5 Page for this destination Charleroi by GrumpyL5

Charleroi Airport is 37 miles away from Brussels. It is a small airport but not overcrowded. Usual facilities including a large cafe.

There are two ways of travelling to Brussels via public transport.
Firstly, there is a local bus, number 68, from the airport to Charleroi South Station Interchange. It runs hourly, and is timed to meet flights and trains. Inter City Trains run from Charlerio South to Brussels stations including Central Station.
Return times.
Trains leave Brussels Central at Mon to Fri, 36 mins past the hour and Sat and Sun 41 mins past the hour. The Inter City Train takes approx 50 minutes.
The second class single fare is only 6.80Euro
Get off at Charleroi Sud, walk along the subway and turn left up to the tram and bus interchange. Look left to avoid being run over by a tram.
The 68 bus will arrive at stand ( Quai ) number 3 in about ten mins.
Journey time to the airport is about ten mins and the fare is just 1.65Euro
Fares from the airport may be a bit more as it takes a slightly longer route, but a return train ticket may be cheeper than two singles.

Secondly, there is the Coach to Brussels Midi Station. It is claimed by tourist info that the fare is 6.20E, it is not. You will be charged 10.00E.
Don't use this rip off service !
The service is arranged with ryanair but there is a note on their web site about the problem.
Also, being dumped at Brussels South station at night is not recommended.
Hope this is useful. More to follow or just ask.

• In a nutshell:The local bus and train are recommended over the coach
