By car
Ghent is located on the intersection of two major European motorways: the E17 connects Northern Europe to the South, and the E40 runs from the North Sea right across to Eastern Europe. From the E17 you take the ‘Gent Centrum’ turnoff. On the E40, from the motorway intersection in Zwijnaarde you first follow ‘Antwerpen’ (E17) and then take the ‘Gent Centrum’ turnoff. Keep right and follow “andere richtingen”. Once you have come down, turn left at the traffic lights, under the bridge. Now you are on the beltway around Ghent. Follow it into the direction of Eeklo. Turn right at the fourth traffic lights. Keep continuing and you will see the Bijlokesite at your right. There is plenty of parking space in the immediate vicinity.
