Brussels Charleroi airport (sometimes called Brussels South airport) is located appr. 55km south to the Brussels city center. Here are some facts about the Charleroi shuttle bus to the Brussels City.
Brussels Shuttle bus stop at Charleroi airport
When you arrive at Charleroi airport and walk out of the doors after customs office you come to the arrivals terminal turn right and go out using exit number 4. Brussels shuttle buses stop in front of the Charleroi airport arrival exit number 4. You can buy your Brussels shuttle bus ticket either from the machine or at service desk. One way Charleroi-Brussels city shuttle bus costs 13€ and two-way ticket 22€. For two-way ticket you have to know your return time and it will be marked to the return ticket.
Brussels Shuttle bus Charleroi-Brussels travel time
Scheduled time for Chareloi airport Brussels Gare du Midi -station travel is one hour but outside rush hours buses can be faster. When I have traveled to Brussels late evening buses have taken 45-50 minutes. Shuttle buses are rather new comfortable.
Where Charleroi shuttle buses arrive at Brussels city
Charleroi shuttle buses arrive at Gare du Midi railway station, which is southern side of Brussels center. If your hotel is around Grand Place or in the EU quarters it's possible to walk but it may not be convenient with heavy luggage. Buses both arrive and take new passengers to Charleroi in front of the Gare du Midi exit doors on western side of the railway station (Rue de France -street).
How much before departure bus to Charleroi?
Bus company operating Brussels Charleroi shuttle buses advice travelers to take shuttle bus from Brussels 3 hours before scheduled departure and based on my experience it's a good advice. During rush hours or if you have special baggage it may be worth going before it but in normal circumstances shuttle bus 3 hours before scheduled flight is very good and you still have some time at the airport.
