Visitors can arrive at Oude Vismijn by boat from Gent Zuid via the venue’s own dedicated jetty.
Visitors to Oude Vismijn can arrive by boat from Gent Zuid at De Krook, in cooperation with Gent Watertoerist. The venue has its own dedicated jetty, where boats can dock directly at the building. This makes it possible to integrate a short boat trip on the inner waters of Ghent into the journey to the venue, as a practical alternative to arriving by car or taxi.
Sustainability added value: Offering arrival by boat opens up a low-impact mobility option that uses existing waterways instead of adding pressure to the road network. For visitors who would otherwise come by car, the boat replaces an individual motorised trip with a shared transport mode, lowering CO₂ emissions, parking demand, and traffic in the historic city centre. The dedicated jetty also turns the waterway into a fully functional access route for events, broadening the modal mix beyond the standard combination of car, public transport, and bike.
