How to reach the lab

... from Brussels airport

By far the easiest way to Ghent is by train, a taxi will cost you a fortune (at least 100EUR). Once arrived in Brussels airport (external link), the railway station is located under the airport itself at the -2 Floor. Check the airport map (external link).
There are:

  • direct fast trains to Ghent ('Gent Sint-Pieters') at least one every hour. Journey: a little less than an hour.
  • direct stop trains from the airport to Ghent. Journey: about an hour and half.
  • non-direct trains whereby you need to change trains once in Brussel-Noord/Bruxelles-Nord. Journey: a little over an hour.

Consult or download the train schedule (valid till December 2017). A train ticket to Ghent (ask for 'Gent Sint Pieters') currently costs about 8.5EUR. There is no price difference between direct or stop trains. Buy your ticket at the booth or online beforehand.

The Ghent Sint Pieters station area is currently under drastic reconstruction. The situation changes permanently, for a latest update, check the site (mostly in Dutch).
You can reach the lab from the station either by tram (5min, 1.4EUR), by taxi (5min, at least 8EUR) or on foot (30min, free).
