Ghent is around 215 kilometres from Schiphol, about 2 hours 20 minutes by road via Antwerp. The lively university city combines a medieval centre with major conference venues such as ICC Ghent and Flanders Expo.
Conferences, university and stations
Ghent University, the ICC Ghent conference centre at Citadelpark and the Flanders Expo exhibition halls in the south of the city attract many international visitors. Gent-Sint-Pieters, the main railway station, is close to both Citadelpark and the university buildings, which makes it an easy landmark for your driver.
