Matthieu van den BogaertNovember 28, 2012On 13 December 1984 there was a train arriving as scheduled without delay! Some say it's just an urban legend!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Lovely station!, always nice to watch so many people from all over the world cross paths!.
The best thing about this station is that the clocks are right. If they say it is 7.30 Pm, it is.. ⏰⏱
- 4sq SUs BelgiumMarch 19, 2016By far the most popular Foursquare venue in Belgium (by checkin count). Built in an eclectic style for the 1913 World Exhibition, the station welcomes around 54000 passengers each day.
Ghent's nicest train station, if you've got the chance you should plant your butt on one of the benches on the square in front of the station and enjoy the view ;)
Kenneth CalliauwNovember 25, 2011Grab yourself a bike and cycle home with it yourself. You'll be home quicker.
Lieze NevenMay 6, 2013Especially nice at sundown When the station bathes in an orange glow and the sun throws long shades.
The only place in the world I ever visited where you can buy a hot waffle and jewelry in the same store.
StevenSeptember 30, 2013Check out the station bar/café, it's located behind the Starbucks. The decor is amazing, you feel like walking into a medieval banquet hall.
When you're waiting for your late train in the main hall, look up and enjoy the murals- Visit GentDecember 19, 2012From here tram no. 1 will take you direct to the city centre, temporary stop 'Korenmarkt'
NMBS, the national railway company of Belgium, is clearly based on the absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, "Waiting For Godot". Just so you know...- Visit GentDecember 19, 2012Ghent is easy to reach by train from all Belgian and European cities and is only half an hour from Brussels South Station.
When parking in the underground lot on a rainy day: bring your boots if you don't want your feet to get wet on the way to the train station.
When you can play the piano. Try the huge piano in the station hall.
Who CaresAugust 31, 2019Good that half of station railway platforms and infrastructure was modernized. However, it seems money run out to makeover the other half, or the construction cost double as originally planned.
Yiannis PapasavvasJanuary 24Supermodern inside like a castle outside. Thousands of bicycles on the back. Waffles inside to munch
KadambariJanuary 23, 2015The station has great architecture, take a look around before you hop on the train. Also the starbucks at the station doesn't have wifi.
Tiziano CarrubbaOctober 23, 2014Nice station, love that piano and the people playing and acclaiming!
Best train station in Ghent! Free bike parking underground...
Put your smartphone away and just look around, maybe get a coffee, and enjoy the atmosphere.
Dan ScudamoreJuly 21, 2022Don’t leave you bicycle in the bike park at the back of the station… you may never find it again! 😂 #nuffbikes
This is the nicest smelling train station in the world.
Dont forget to buy your ticket . .and dont fall a sleep you might end up completly different destination hahaha....
Really your best option is to run. (Wherever it is you need to be, you'll get there faster and more comfortably.)- Buy your bus or tram ticket with your phone. Send "DL" to 4884, it's cheaper than buying it from the driver !
Panos cappucino tastes pretty nice. But the expresso sucks rhinocock
Starbucks, fries, pasta, shops... all within one station. Renovations keep going on but yeah it's ok.- Dominic de KerfJanuary 30, 2013Good coffee at the Starbucks in the railway station, not too expensive
Nicely renovated since i was here last time.... 15 years ago
Escalator user manual: Stand right, walk left!
Talk to the locals. By far the juiciest accent in this part of the country, waar!?
Missed a train? Cheap and good spaghettis at the dixie might help you out
