And 3rd, any Medieval battle sites I should consider? Thanks, Karl

      Traveling to Gent by Eurostar

      Hi all, I'm travelling to Gent by Eurostar from london in a couple of weeks and have 2 questions regarding my journey: 1) I understand I have to change trains at Brussels (I think) - is it then obvious which platform to go to for the Gent Train? 2) I am staying at a hotel on Waaistraat. I see it is quite a long walk from the station so was thinking of getting a taxi (there are 4 of us) however, someone has suggested we could take the tram - is this much cheaper, and how will i know which one to get? Any tips would be much appreciated - thanks! :)

      Hi, we are planning to go to Brugge in May, and then to go to Gent. I looked up a train schedule, and it shows that from Brugge to Gent it takes only 20-25 minutes. Is it really so? Could anyone please confirm that? If it's true, then we may stay in Brugge all this time and just have day trips to Gent (accomodation in Brugge is much cheaper)? What would you say? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      Hi everyone! I'm going to stay in G(h)ent with 10 colleagues, for a week and a half in March. We will fly on Brussels Airlines and arrive at the international brussels airport and then we should catch a train, right? (from what I've read I think it's the best option...). I have some questions that I wanted to ask you: 1- the train station is "inside" or near the airport? 2- is this train direct to ghent? or does it have any stop or line changes? To return home we will catch the Ryanair flight in charleroi airport... Questions: 3- what is the best way to get to Charleroi from Gent? (train, bus?) 4- how long does the train/bus takes, to get from G(h)ent to Charleroi? (the flight is at 16h45) Thanks in advance ;)
