Gent : How do I travel?
How to go alone
Getting to Ghent is easy. All you have to do is book your train or plane ticket (the earlier you leave, the better off you'll be) and accommodation, also in advance. If you have your own car, you should know that the roads in Belgium are in very good condition and make access to Ghent very easy.
How to go on a tour
Some tour operators offer tours in the capital of East Flanders, allowing you to discover the architectural and historical heritage of the city according to an itinerary marked out in advance. You can also combine a visit to Ghent with one to Bruges, Ostend, Antwerp and of course Brussels. The advantage of this type of offer is that it allows you to benefit from advantageous rates in terms of transport and accommodation.
How to get around
To get around Ghent, there is no shortage of means of transport, between the three streetcar lines, the bus lines, cabs, bicycles and of course walking. The pedestrian center of the beautiful Flemish city is indeed perfectly adapted to walkers. To reach the surroundings of the city you can also rent a car.

Gent : Discover
The beautiful city of Flanders, birthplace of Charles V, boasts a rich historical past that is reflected in numerous museums and monuments, including the imposing Château des Comtes in its center. It's also extremely photogenic, both by day and by night, as the city's lighting makes it particularly attractive. But Ghent is no museum town. Its student community makes it a modern, multicultural city, even lively at weekends and during summer festivals. The pedestrian and shopping streets are always bustling, and in the evening, as the city's illuminations embellish it, restaurants and bars fill up with an eclectic crowd. Ghent also offers a rich cultural life, home to one of Europe's most renowned contemporary art museums (the SMAK), a wealth of street art and the STAM, the city's museum of history and technology. Special feature: it's eco-friendly and vegan-friendly.
