BY CAR
Opera Gent is located right in the city centre, on the Kouter. Please note: since spring 2017, the new circulation plan in Ghent has come into effect. This has an impact on the route you can take to the city centre. You can read all about it on the website of Stad Gent.
You can find an alternative to the closed P+R Gentbrugge here.
