The town is well located for day trips to Bruxelles, Brugge and Luxembourg. Town itself has many little cafés and restaurants as well as popular chains. A nice warm shopping mall in the center. Extensive redevelopment going on everywhere (railway station and road junctions). Palais de Beaux Arts seemed firmly closed when I visited (a Saturday in January) despite many posters advertising it. I will come back, but when it's warmer.

The Charleroi is cozy small town with good restaurants (like Cafe Le Luxembourg). Good point for accomodation and place near to Brussel (only 1 hour to Brussel centre by car or train) if you are planning to visit the capital city. Good architecture and place for walk.

We had stayed in Charleroi many years ago, and found big changes. The bus Station at Charleroi Sud (now known as Charleroi Central is now very big) and is still under construction. Once finished the area will be lovely. There are lots of competitively priced accommodations to choose from. The public transport system is excellent from trams to buses to trains. Everyone is very friendly and going at Christmas was special. A couple of Christmas markets to see and the ice rink looked good fun. Since we last visited - several years ago - a shopping centre has been opened which has many shops to visit. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas - was lovely and warm and catered for everyone. I would say don’t use use Charleroi for passing through, spend at least a day and enjoy what it has to offer. We are locally and found the food very good and varied.

Charleroi is a good place to stay if travelling around and has good rail links to Brussels. The centre has seen better days and looks run down when walking around at night. I was travelling around a a lot so was just based there as handy for Brussels south airport and my early morning departure flight home. Not a lot in the way of sights as its a ex industry area.

Charleroi is, without a doubt, an underrated city. It is a very quite, and calm place if your preference is having a quite holiday. I dont recomend it for those under 30 or a couple with young , or teenage kids. The good news is, it is only one hour away from the Brussels..where everything is happening. I also found it, some how very difficult to move around. I say that because I have travelled the world, and own and advice travellers @travelholicsuk So, I am qualified to give a recommendation on travelling! Something else that found to be unreliable, that Metro Trains. The sytem is not easy to go around especially when you are not a French speaker. I mean, even with those who understand French, it is a bit of a puzzle. I was also suprised and disappointed that Metro trains stops operating by 8pm. My advice, It is more convenient to travel around Charleroi using taxes uber. It is cheap! Tax fares are one of the cheapest around Europe!

The manager of the hotel is very rude. He rejected give me the name, and threatened to cancel my booking knowing that i have no option and to leave the property. Even didn’t want to apologize for the inconvenient
