Travel information

How to reach Ghent:

By plane

The main Belgian airport, Brussels National Airport, is about 70 km away from Ghent. The easiest way to get from the airport to Ghent is by taking a train or taxi.
For flight details and travel information, see http://www.brusselsairport.be.
Another (budget) option is Charleroi Airport, also called Brussels-South Airport. To reach Ghent, you can take a shuttle from the airport, starting from €5 (see www.flibco.com). You could also take the Brussels City Shuttle from the airport, towards Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi train station and continue to Ghent by train. Another option is to take bus A to train station Charleroi-Sud and to take a train there. If you do the latter, you can buy a ticket to “any Belgian train station” which includes the bus fee at the vending machines right outside the Airport (Entrance 2).

From Brussels National Airport, there are frequent train services (basement level -1) to Ghent.
