VENUE: ZEBRASTRAAT

Zebrastraat 32/100  –  9000 Gent  –  Belgium

In Zebrastraat, historical architecture and contemporary art are combined to constitute a unique setting for all kinds of cultural events. The impressive contemporary art collection of the Liedts-Meesen Foundation is an important part of the site and is well worth a visit in its own right. https://visit.gent.be/en/see-do/zebrastraat

Traveling to Ghent

Ghent does not have its own airport, but is very easy to reach from the two main airports of Belgium: Brussels Airport and Brussels South Charleroi Airport.

From Brussel’s airport:

Gent is approximately 45 minutes away from Brussels Airport, Belgium’s national airport in Zaventem. The airport has its own railway station, Brussels-Airport-Zaventem, which offers a direct connection to Ghent. The railway station is situated beneath the airport and can be reached via the lifts and escalators in the arrivals hall.

“Gent St Pieters or “Ghent Sint Pieters” is the closest station to the venue.

The venue is easily accessible by public transportation. The “Ghent Sint-Pieters” train station is just 2 kilometres away, while the city centre (Korenmarkt) is 2,2 kilometres away.

From “Ghent Sint-Pieters” Train Station:

The nearest bus stop is “Gent Leeuwstraat”, which is an 8 up to 10 minutes drive to/from the train station “Gent Sint-Pieters”.

You can take the following bus lines: 58, 70, 71, 72, 76, 77 of 78. When you arrive at the stop “Gent Leeuwstraat”, walk along the left side of the roundabout, and take the first exit. This is the “Zebrastraat”, where you will find the venue 50 meters further, on your right side.

From the Korenmarkt (city centre), you take tram number 4 direction “Gent UZ/Ledeberg”. After 8 minutes you arrive at stop “Gent Sint-Lievenspoort”. Now walk back 50 meters and turn left.

If you are coming by car, you can park in the underground parking lot “New Zebra”, in the Gustaaf Callierlaan 231, 9000, Ghent. Coming from the E40 motorway, you follow the signs for the motorway “E17”, direction “Antwerpen/Gent”. Then you follow the signs “Gent Centrum”, that will lead you to the centre by crossing the long bridge (viaduct). Just before the first traffic lights, you turn left and you make a 180 degrees turn around the square (with monument). Now keep right and follow the sign “andere richtingen”, making sure you don’t drive onto the bridge (viaduct) again. After 50 metres and on your right side, you will find the entrance of the parking.
