Travel to Ghent

More eclectic than its neighbours Antwerp and Bruges, Ghent dares to mix up the genres and blur a few boundaries. Roman, medieval 19th century industrial and uber high-tech contemporary design blend in a unique and harmonious way. To get to Ghent you need to choose 'Any Belgian ticket' option in the destination box and change in Brussels Midi to take a Belgian domestic Intercity train.
City of Ghent won a 2012 Eurostar Ashden Award for Sustainable Travel for its active support for cycling delivered through large-scale bike rental schemes, innovative marketing campaigns, an on-line cycling route planner and extensive cycling infrastructure – combining to create a culture where cycling is the norm.The birthplace of Charles I & IV of Spain who was to rule over much of Europe, Ghent is the cultural capital of Flanders and the second largest port in Belgium.
