🏨 Accommodation

If you are planning to book a hotel, we recommend booking accommodation in Ghent, as the venue is easier to reach from Ghent than Brussels (although both are possible).
Ideal areas to stay in Ghent:

  • Near Ghent Sint-Pieters Station (around Koningin Maria Hendrikaplein)
  • In the historic city center (around Sint-Baafsplein)
    Frequent trams (Lines 1 and 3) connect the city center and Ghent Sint-Pieters station, running every 3–5 minutes. Visit www.delijn.be for schedules.
