Gent	Transport in Gent!!! Posted: Sun October 16, 2011 06:46 PM UTC Hello, Hope you can help me cause I really need it! :) Next week I will be travelling to Belgium and I need to arrive from Gent to Evergem. I am not decided yet what option is the best to arrive there (cause I don't really know my way around those cities) so I hope you can help me out: 1. What tram can I take from Gent to Evergem and from where exactly (taking into consideration that I arrive at the train station of Gent)? 2. If I take a taxi, which one do you recommend and which is also cheaper? Thanks so much! :) Report Advertising or Inappropriate Posting	IoanaL	6 replies [Reply]

Hello,
You should “take tram 1” when you arrive in Saint-Pietersstation, there is a pick up point. The last stop is Brielken in Evergem.
Here you find a map:

Taxis are much too expensive I think.
Have fun

Thanks so much for your answers.
Tram is indeed the best I think cause it's also the closest to the destination street in Evergem , but I still have some walking to do from the station anyway, like 40min and the thing is I will be in great hurry when I arrive in Gent and that's why I asked about the taxi as well.

Don't know how long you want to stay but if you stay more days it could be good to buy a 3 or 5daycard for transportion in 'De Lijn'shop. (De Lijn is transportcompany in Flanders)it is way cheaper than a normal ticket on tram or bus. You'll find the shop outside Gent Sint-Pieters on your left. You can use the card in entire Flanders.
Have a nice time.
