How to get there

All roads lead to Ghent, or so it seems. Visitors will always find their way to the city, whether it is by car, train, bus or bike. In addition, Ghent is centrally located, which makes it the perfect base to visit nearby cities such as Bruges, Antwerp or Brussels. Are you coming by car or coach? Then check whether your vehicle may enter the low-emission zone.
