Charleroi

City

Charleroi, the biggest city in the Province of Hainaut and capital of the Pays Noir, is famous for its miners who went on strike over working conditions. The city’s industrial past makes it a moving, intriguing place. And it’s enjoying something of a renaissance. It’s a vibrant, up-and-coming city just 10 km from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (served mainly by Ryanair) and only 1 hour from Brussels.

The hostel is only 11km from the airport (Brussels South Charleroi Airport) by car and only 17 min by bus!

Stay here and you’ll be spoilt for choice – explore the city’s culture and heritage, visit the outstanding Museum of Photography, or take a stroll along the banks of the canalor the Sambreand enjoy the stunning countryside.
