Woodrow Wilsonplein
Woodrow Wilsonplein is a city square located south of Ghent's historic center. It occupies the former site of the Ghent South railway station and is named after the 28th U.S. President. Travelers visit this area for a walk through a transitional urban space that blends the city's atmosphere with open pedestrian areas.
Getting There
The square is situated just south of the old town. From the city center, it is a short walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point.
