By plane
You arrive in Zaventem (Brussels airport). You can then easily reach Ghent ('Gent' in Dutch) by train. The railwaystation is at the lowest floor of the airportbuilding. Take the direct train to Ghent (railway station Gent St-Pieters). There should be at least one train going to Ghent every hour. Alternatively, first take a shuttle train to Brussels (railway station Brussel Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi), there take the train to Ghent.
By train/tram
Most international trains (including Thalys and Eurostar) arrive in Brussel Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi. There you can take the train to Gent St-Pieters. This train goes in the direction Brugge-Oostende, but Gent (Ghent) will always be mentioned as an intermediate destination. There is a train from Brussels to Ghent every 30 minutes till +/- 00.30h. The trip Brussels - Ghent takes less then 40 minutes.
There is also a direct train connection from Lille (France, station Lille Flandres) to Ghent.
Be careful: get off in Gent ST-PIETERS and not in Gent DAMPOORT.
Outside the railway station Gent St-Pieters there are numerous stops for buses and trams to the centre of Ghent. To go to the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science, take tram 1 (every six minutes). Get off at Verlorenkost (after approx. seven minutes). There, you follow the road upwards between the coffee-bar Illy and the pizzeria (the street is called Sint Kwintensberg). The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is right on the top of the hill, on your left.
By bus
Eurolines offer a direct bus connection to Gent St-Pieters from nearly every big town in every European country. But if they don't, they most probably drive to Brussels (Brussel Noord/Bruxelles-Nord train station). From there take the train to Gent St-Pieters.
By ferry
Some ferry lines go from the United Kingdom to Oostende (Ostend) or Zeebrugge. In Oostende you can take the train to Gent St-Pieters at the ferry terminal. In Zeebrugge you take the train to Brugge (Bruges) and there change trains to Gent St-Pieters.
By car
You will probably come in on highways E17 or E40, which intersect near the city.

Highway E17:
via Antwerpen (Antwerp): from The Netherlands, Germany
via Kortrijk: from France
Follow the direction "Gent", and then take direction "Gent Centrum" (B401)
Highway E40:
via Oostende (Ostend): from The Netherlands, France
via Brussel (Brussels): from France, Germany
Follow the direction "Gent Antwerpen" (E17), then follow the direction "Gent", and finally follow direction
"Gent Centrum" (B401)
In both cases the elevated highway (B401) will take you directly to the centre of Ghent.
When the highway
comes down to ground level, go left at the first traffic lights (under the bridge) and go right at the second
traffic lights. If you then go straight on, you will see a large parking square called Sint Pietersplein.
From there you can see the Tower of the University Library: |

ghent in a few pictures
Gent (Ghent) is one of the oldest cities in Flanders, the Dutch speaking northern
part of Belgium. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Schelde and Leie.
Its name is derived form a celtic word for mouth, and it is known
that the area was already inhabited in prehistoric times. Through the Middle Ages,
it was among the most important economic centres of Western Europe.
The three towers: Saint Nicholas' Church, the
Belfry and Saint Baaf's Cathedral.
The Graslei: part of the old harbour, with guild
houses and warehouses along the river Leie.
The Belfry
The Gravensteen: medieval fortress of the
Counts of Flanders.
