Charleroi is a city in Belgium in the historical region of Wallonia. It is known as one of the largest industrial centers in Europe, which flourished thanks to coal mining and steel production. Now Charleroi is considered one of the poorest cities in prosperous Belgium with many social problems that resulted from the decline of industrial production. Nevertheless, this distinctive place, which is home to the world-famous museum of photography, has an impressive industrial heritage and several interesting attractions.

Charleroi is located on the Sambre River in the province of Hainaut. The city is located 50 km south of Brussels and is connected to the capital of Belgium by a canal. Charleroi has a temperate maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters.

Population – 201.8 thousand people (2018).
Area – 102.08 km2.
The language is French.
The currency is euro.
Visa – Schengen.
The time is Central European (UTC +1, summer +2).

The surroundings of Charleroi have been inhabited since prehistoric times. During the Roman period, several public buildings, temples and villas were built in the area. The city itself was founded in 1666 as the fortress of Charnois. Charleroi quickly turned into a large industrial center that specialized in coal mining, as well as the production of steel and glass.

Industry played a key role until the 60s of the 20th century. In the future, industrial production declined, which significantly affected the prosperity of the city. Now Charleroi is developing as a major transport and cultural center, trying to solve social problems associated with the closure of mines and steel mills.

Charleroi, a city in the Belgian province of Hainaut, is one of the five largest in the country. And to be more precise, he is the “bronze medalist”, that is, the third-largest. The settlement is located on the Sambre River, it is only 50 km south of the Belgian capital Brussels. In the city of Charleroi, which, by the way, belongs to the Walloon part of the kingdom, 212 thousand people live. The population with suburbs is, even more, half a million. If we consider Charleroi on the scale of not the whole state, but only Wallonia, then it is the second largest at all, second only to Liege in this indicator.

The city has an interesting nickname: the capital of the “Black Country”. It did not appear by chance and is due to the fact that there are coal mines in this regional industrial center. At the same time, Charleroi is among the poorest and most unattractive megacities in Belgium. Unemployment rates remain high, in this regard, 2006 can be considered a record year, when the unemployment of the able-bodied population in Charleroi reached 30%. Such a gloomy picture is complemented by a high level of crime, including corruption among the ruling political elites in the city.

It would seem that these factors are enough to exclude Charleroi from the list of attractive places for tourists. However, do not rush to conclusions. The capital of the “Black Country” has many bright sides. For example, Charleroi is contesting with Brussels the title of the capital of Belgian comics, and not unsuccessfully. The well-known publishing house for children Editions Dupuis is also based here, and the local Marcinelle school has given the world such famous and beloved characters as Marsupilami, Boule&Bill, Spirou&Fantasio and Lucky Luke. The city can also boast of its own art museums – there are several of them here, and we will return to them later.

Charleroi is also a major transport hub, namely railway, and aviation. A strategically important transit station is located in the city. Through the Charleroi – Brussels canal, the city is connected to the waterways of Flanders, the second, along with Wallonia, the historical region of the country. In each of the districts of Charleroi, there are interesting sights that attract numerous travelers. The popularity of this industrial center among visitors is also due to its proximity to Brussels, which, as they say, is just around the corner.

Arriving in Belgium, be sure to find the time and opportunity to visit the city of Charleroi – beautiful, original, with its strengths and weaknesses, but even more attractive.
