Getting to and around Ghent
Ghent is straightforward to reach by rail or road, but its historic centre is best explored on foot. Gent-Sint-Pieters and Gent-Dampoort serve different approaches, so check which station suits your first stop.
Use Gent-Sint-Pieters for the broadest range of rail connections, then take local transport toward the centre if you do not want a longer walk. Gent-Dampoort may be handier for an arrival from the Antwerp direction. Once among the central squares and canals, walking lets you link sights that sit close together.
Useful to know
Check your train’s Ghent station before booking the next leg; Gent-Sint-Pieters and Gent-Dampoort are separate arrival points.
From Gent-Sint-Pieters, allow for a walk of roughly half an hour to the centre or check a current De Lijn tram connection.
If cycling across the centre, watch for cobblestones and tram rails; check the current street signs before riding against one-way traffic.
