Getting Around Ghent

How to move your dancing feet in Ghent?

Whether you’re a public transport aficionado, a cycling enthusiast, or prefer the convenience of taxis, Ghent has it all.

This edition, the day activities take place on Dok Noord, an area in the North of Ghent. You can ping pont easily between the workshop venues and Jazz Cafe by foot, max. 5 minutes walking.

Our party venues are located a bit further away, but still within walking distance. For faster transport, we recommend a bicycle, as public transport has no service after midnight (except for NYE).

Act like a local and bike

Ghent, like most cities in Belgium, is a cyclist’s paradise, with dedicated lanes, mostly flat terrain and plenty of parking spots. Rent a bike from one of the many rental services, like:

Public Transport

Ghent’s public transport network, run by ‘De Lijn’, has buses and trams.

Buses and trams operate from 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily. On January 1, public transport gets a boost with more frequent bus and tram services and extended hours for the city train, ensuring you can party till late without worrying about getting home.

For New Year’s Eve, De Lijn offers a special discounted ticket of unlimited travel for €3. More info here.

Single ride tickets cost €3, a day ticket €9 and a 10-journey ticket for €21.

You can buy tickets from ticket machines, through the De Lijn app (Iphone/Android) or using contactless cards or mobile devices with contactless payments inside the bus or tram. You can also use the M-ticket app to buy and store tickets on your phone. Ticket info here.
