Bus and tram

Public transport is not hindered by car traffic, so it gets to its destination faster and easier.
You can request a free network map at the Lijnwinkel, located at the main bus terminals: near Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station, on the Grain Market (Korenmarkt) and at Gent-Zuid (Ghent South). This network map is also available at the information desk in the Tourist Centre.

Buy a bus or tram card beforehand at newspaper shops or supermarkets, in the Lijnwinkel or at any of the automatic dispensers located at most bus stops. This way you pay up to 50 percent less than when you pay on the bus or tram itself.

The Lijnwinkels at Gent-Sint-Pieters and Korenmarkt are open from Monday to Friday, 7 am to 7 pm. On Saturday, only the Korenmarkt Lijnwinkel is open.

On Friday and Saturday, you can make use of free night buses. Six lines operate over the entire Ghent area. Departure from Gent-Zuid: from 1:15 onwards, every 45 minutes.
