The historical rooms, including the 13th-century hospital, now the Concert hall, the 16th-century 'Kraakhuis', the Anatomical Institute and magnificent contemporary foyers, leave a memorable impression, are inspiring and provide the required tranquillity and focus. The rooms are equipped with the very latest audio-visual technical apparatus and efficient Wi-Fi, thus meeting the most sophisticated wishes and needs.

Food & drinks

Music centre De Bijloke partners a permanent in-house caterer, working with equitable and local seasonal produce. The caterer also offers an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes.

Accessibility

The Bijloke site is easily accessible by car along the R40, and there are fee-paying parking bays along the city ring road and in surrounding streets. For those coming by public transport there are various tram and bus stops within walking distance which ensure a fast connection with the city centre and Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station. The station itself is also within walking distance of the site and therefore easily reached on foot (+/- 15 minutes).

Tip: thanks to the location along the river Lys, this site is also easily accessible along the water. Book a boat trip or take the hop-on, hop-off water tram to give your congress participants a unique ride to the venue
