How to get in Ghent?
By airplane:
- The nearest international airport is Brussels. The airport City Express leaves from within the airport building (floor -2) and takes you to one of the main stations in Brussels (subsequently Noord/Nord, Centraal/Central and Zuid/Midi), where you can switch to one of the many intercity trains (IC) to, or via "Gent-Sint-Pieters", Ghent's main railway station (Directions Brugge, Knokke, Blankenberge, Oostende all stop in Ghent). Some trains run directly from the airport to "Gent-Sint-Pieters".
