Ghent is easy to reach by coach. The rebellious city of art is just a 45-minute drive from Bruges and Brussels (both 53 km) and less than an hour from Antwerp (60 km).

Does your car have a foreign number plate? Register it to avoid a fine.

A vehicle with a foreign number plate must ALWAYS be registered. Your vehicle’s Euro standard and fuel type determine whether or not you are allowed to enter the city centre of Ghent. Clean cars can enter the city, polluting cars must pay.

Ghent is located on the intersection of two major European motorways: the E17 and the E40. From the E17 you take the ‘Gent Centrum’ turnoff. On the E40, from the motorway intersection in Zwijnaarde you first follow ‘Antwerpen’ (E17) and then take the ‘Gent Centrum’ turnoff.
