Is the station far from the centre?

Hello all





Am considering a trip to Ghent on Eurostar but the station (St Pieters?) looks a bit far from the centre? Am I just misreading the map? Otherwise, is it easy to get a tram or something else to travel around?





Thanks in anticipation!

it%26#39;s a couple of km but take tram no 1 towarsds wondelgem and get off at the korenmarkt. buy tickets at the machines - in english and take change. about 1.50 euros

It is too far to walk.





The Number 1 tram mentioned above is sometimes also marked %26quot;Evergem%26quot;. Both take you to the center. I like to get out at the castle stop. To return to the station, take the number 1 marked with the direction %26quot;Flanders Expo%26quot;.





The ticket machines sell single ride tickets as well as the day passes. Buy a ticket before you board. The day pass needs to be date and time stamped. The individual tickets also need to be stamped and you can do that on the train.





For the single tickets, insert it into the cancellation machine and press the button corresponding to the number of zones you intend to travel. To the center, press the buttoon marked %26quot;1%26quot; for one zone. And you should see the time and date printed on the ticket which means you have a valid ticket.
