Station

Taking the train to Ghent is a sign of common sense: It’s relaxing, quick and just convenient. Planned a visit to a museum? Then Gent-Sint-Pieters is your station of choice. Keep your eyes open for the beautiful wall and ceiling paintings. Is the historical centre on your to-do list? You'd better get off in Gent-Dampoort. Drop off your luggage, rent a bike, and off you go!
