How to get to Ghent?

·  From the Brussels airport (railway station) to Brussels:

Take the underground train station and take any train in the direction of Brussels (North, Central or Midi) – 20 minutes

·  From the railway station in Brussels to Ghent:

Take a train to Ghent (direction Oostende, Knokke or BlankenBerghe) – 30 minutes from Brussels Midi
Do NOT take the regional train that mentions AALST/ALOST because that is a stop train making your journey much longer.

·  From the railway station in Ghent to Monasterium

The hotel can be reached from the Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station by tram. The tram stops are on your far left when leaving the front entrance of the station.

You can take tram 1 direction Evergem (in red). Exit at tram stop "De Kouter" and continue this street. At the next intersection with the "Volderstraat", turn left, cross the bridge over the water and enter the third street on your right. This is the "Oude Houtlei".
