Please be advised that a strike has been announced for Monday, 20 May, which may affect public transport services across Belgium, including trains, trams, and buses.
Train Travel
While there may be a reduced train service, getting from Brussels to Ghent should still be possible. We recommend the following route:
Zaventem Airport → Brussels Midi → Gent Sint Pieters Station
You can check real-time updates and train availability here: Belgian Train Website
Local Transport in Ghent
Local trams and buses operated by De Lijn may also face disruptions. Real-time updates are available here: De Lijn Website
If local public transport proves difficult, taxis and Ubers from Gent Sint Pieters station to the city centre are a reliable and affordable alternative, typically costing €10–15.
We encourage you to plan your journey and allow extra time for travel on Monday.
We look forward to seeing you soon in Ghent for the General Assembly.
