Ghent-Sint-Pieters Station

Ghent-Sint-Pieters is the busiest station in Flanders and one of the oldest railway stations still in use in Belgium. The monumental building from 1912, designed by Louis Cloquet for the 1913 World's Fair, is characterised by its striking belfry-like tower and richly decorated main hall with frescoes depicting Belgian cities.

The station has been undergoing a major renovation and expansion for years. All platforms are now reachable via lifts and new ramps. The main hall is fully accessible and adapted toilets can be found at the southern end. SNCB/NMBS Assistance offers free support, provided a reservation is made at least three hours in advance; the reception for reduced-mobility travellers is at the main entrance.

In front of the station are tram stops served by city trams heading for the centre; these are accessible from low platforms for wheelchair users. The underground car park has spacious reduced-mobility parking spaces with a direct lift connection to the station level. Koningin Maria Hendrikaplein, the square in front of the station, has been renewed and is completely level, with wide natural-stone pavements.
