Brussels → Ghent city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Brussels Airport (BRU) to Ghent city centre costs €240 per car for 1–3 passengers and €300 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 72 km via E40 and R0; the drive takes about 1h with clear roads, so plan on 60–75 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the main Brussels Airport terminal building, just after the baggage reclaim and customs exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Ghent is a medieval university city at the confluence of the Leie and the Scheldt, known for St Bavo's Cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece, the Gravensteen castle and the Graslei and Korenlei quays. The drive from Brussels Airport follows the E40 west for about 70 km. Ghent has a pedestrian zone and a circulation plan which reduces car traffic in the centre, with the main railway station, Gent-Sint-Pieters, about 2 km south of the old town. The Gentse Feesten in July bring large crowds to the centre.

The medieval core of Ghent lies on the Korenmarkt, from where the Graslei and Korenlei quays run along the Leie and the Gravensteen castle stands a few streets north. St Bavo's Cathedral houses the Ghent Altarpiece by the Van Eyck brothers, and the Belfry rises next to it. The quarter of Patershol has small restaurants in narrow streets, and the Vrijdagmarkt is the historic market square. From Gent-Sint-Pieters station, tram 1 reaches the centre in about fifteen minutes. In July the Gentse Feesten fill the squares for ten days.

Public transport instead: SNCB/NMBS train IC from Brussels Airport-Zaventem station (change at Brussels-Midi or Brussels-Central) to Gent-Sint-Pieters — about 55–75 min, several per hour, 1 change.
