Traveling to/in Ghent

In case you plan to take a flight to Belgium, we recommend you to arrange a flight to Brussels International Airport Zaventem and then take the direct train (Belgian railways: https://www.belgiantrain.be/en) to Ghent. You can also arrange a flight to Brussels South Airport (Charleroi) and then take the shuttle bus (Flibco) to Ghent (https://visit.gent.be/en/see-do/flibco).

UGent actively promotes a sustainable travel policy - avoiding flights for relatively short distances (below 1000 km). We kindly advise persons who are coming to Ghent from within a reasonable distance and/or who do not need to cross an ocean or sea to travel by train.

To reach the UGent Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, you can walk from Ghent Sint-Pietersstation to the faculty (20 min), or take tram 4 to the Ghent University Hospital (UZ) and get off at the terminus. From the terminus, you can walk to the faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. At the roundabout, you can enter through the green gate and walk around the building to reach the main entrance of the faculty.

The formal entrance-address of the faculty is Ottergemsesteenweg 460, 9000 Gent (red oval on map).

To travel in Gent, next to walking and/or biking, you can also use the bus or tram. To plan your trips, please check the website of De Lijn: https://www.delijn.be/en/?vertaling=true.
