Best way to get from Brussels Chareloi Airport to Bruges?

[Cyrstal]

Hi,

Just wondering can anyone tell me the best way to travel from Brussels Chareloi airport to Bruges? We will be arriving at about 930am in Brussels airport - and also coming back from Bruges, our flight is at 930 so we'll have to be able to get back to airport by 7/730.

Anyone any advice?

Thanks.

The national railway SNCB offer a deal.

The deal is local airport bus to Charleroi railway station + train ticket onwards:

Getting back to CRL by that time could be tight.

All the timetables should be here:

The main service from Bruges to Bruss is IC A, i.e. Intercity route A.

See timetable here:



The first train leaves Bruges at 4:51, arrives in Bruss at 5:55, that's Mon-Fri.

I used the SNCB journey planner on your behalf.

You can get to Chaleroi-Sud railway station by 7am, yes.

Depart Bruges----------------------arrive Charleroi-Sud

4:12------6:23
4:51------6:52
5:57------7:52

All trips involve changing trains in Brussels, simple.
