BASIC STUDIO

Located alongside the water in the arts quarter of the lovely Ghent, this area is known for its famous museums (e.g. SMAK, MSK and STAM) and numerous other small cultural initiatives. In the immediate vicinity you can find several supermarkets, restaurants and cafés with typical belgian beers. There is a bakery around the corner (open on Sundays). Edville Studio is the ideal place to explore Ghent from!

The old historic part of the city is a 20 minutes walk away from the accomodation, just follow the river.
The center is also reachable by public transport. Bus stop ‘Ter Platenbrug’ is located 200m from our address. Bus lines 70 up to 79 will lead you to ‘Gent Zuid’, where you can take tram 1, which goes to the center. You can get off at the Korenmarkt, right in the center. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Note: there are no night busses, so make sure you know when is the last bus or be prepared to go by foot or pay the taxi.
The fastest and the easiest means of transport in Ghent is the bike. Bicycles can be rented at Edville for €15/day. In 10 minutes you can reach the ‘Korenmarkt’.
Taxis are fairly cheap in Ghent. The starting price is €8.50 for the first 3km

Studio Edville Ghent is located in the ‘orange zone’ in terms of parking facilities, which means you can park in the street for €6/day. We recommend to park in the ‘green zone’ across the water (‘Stropkaai 1’), for only €3/day. It’s important that you park conform the rules and pay immidiately. On Sundays and holidays you parking in the street is free.

BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
When you land in Brussels Airport we recommend taking the train to ‘Gent Sint-Pieters’. We are easily accessible from the ‘Gent-Sint Pieters’ train station via public transport: take a bus with number 70 up to 79 with direction ‘Gent Zuid’ and be sure to get off at bus stop ‘Ter Platenbrug’. The travel time is approximately 10 minutes. There is a bus every 8 minutes during the work hours. A ticket for the bus or tram will cost you €2 (SMS), or you can buy a ticket from the bus driver, but this will cost you €3. We recommend you to buy a ticket because there is often a ticket control.
We can also be reached by foot, 2km walking distance, about 20 min. You will follow a route through the ‘Citadelpark’.
