WHERE TO STAY AND HOW TO
GET AROUND?
Ghent is a
very popular city for tourism and the Tourist Information Office tells us that hotel bookings for the Spring 2014 must be
made quickly.
The offer
of hotels and B&Bs is large and varied. Most hotels are located in the
historic centre.
The
conversation of members, the Congress and the festivities will all take place at
the same venue: Kunstencentrum Vooruit,
Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 23, 9000 Ghent (see localisation on Google Maps).
This beautiful place is easily accessible from the historic
centre. On foot, it will take you between 10 and 25 minutes. Otherwise,
you may take a bus, tram or a taxi to ‘ZUID’. The ‘ZUID’ is one of the main hubs
for taxis and public transport, and is only a few minutes’ walk from the VOORUIT.
Please find
below a list of hotels. On the website of the city of Ghent town you will find
