Arrivals and transport
How you get there
The trip starts in Ghent and ends in Antwerp. Here is what it takes to reach the first city, and how far apart the others really are — in case you want to arrive early, leave late, or wander off on your own for an afternoon.
One less thing to think about
The coach does the driving
A coach — the 60 Express — carries us from city to city on the days the itinerary moves: Ghent to Bruges, out to Damme, on to Knokke, and finally to Antwerp. It is my treat, there is nothing to book, and you only need a seat on it if you want one.
Reaching Ghent
Ghent has no airport of its own. These are the three you are most likely to land at, and what stands between them and the first evening.
