Namur, Belgium, is your next vacation spot? Nestled in the southern Belgian countryside, it is a perfect offbeat destination, with lively bars, cobbled streets, and exceptional food. This small, lively student town is about 32 kilometers (21 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport.
Train travel will certainly save you money, as it is a lot cheaper than a taxi. A single ride ticket will cost you around 20€ but at the expense of convenience and flexibility. Here’s why. To get on the train, you’d first need to catch a tram or a bus to Brussels Charleroi Sud Train Station. You will then have to make a connection to Namur.
The duration of your trip will depend on the train schedules for that day, but you are looking at a total trip time of about 1 and a half hours to 2 hours.
NOTE: Don’t forget you will need to reach your final destination either on foot or hire a taxi.
Choose a bus if you want to spend the least. You’ll be getting on bus number 28 which departs hourly from Brussels South Charleroi Airport.
The price is good, but the disadvantages are numerous:
Your first thought is probably a taxi. Fast, easy, convenient. Brussels Charleroi Airport taxi is available 24/7, it takes you straight to your destination, and it is private. On second thought, you think of the price. How much would a taxi cost me? Is it too much? Let’s see the numbers.
Your ride will be about 25 minutes, given optimal traffic conditions, and you are looking at paying around 70€. The tip for the driver is not required, but you can always round up to the closest Euro. Since a taxi is quite expensive, so let’s look at your other options.
Last, but not least, there’s a private airport taxi, experienced travelers' favorite choice. But what is so great about it? When choosing the right means of transportation, ask yourself ‘Will my money be well invested? Am I getting the best service for my money?’ By choosing airport taxi you are getting the most for your money, and the price is affordable. You will make the booking online, and your driver will be waiting for you upon landing.
Just imagine having peace of mind knowing someone is waiting for you, and you do not have to worry about the timetables and schedules, long drives, or hauling your luggage. You will travel seamlessly and comfortably, knowing you have made the right choice.
