Accessibility
New updates on the accessibility of Floraliën Ghent 2026 will be added here as soon as they become available.
At Floraliën Gent 2026, we believe that beauty should be accessible to everyone. That is why we are actively committed to making our event as inclusive as possible. Whether you have a physical, visual, auditory or other disability, we want you to feel welcome, be able to move around easily and fully enjoy the floral splendour and inspiring experience.
What do you need to make your visit comfortable and carefree?
On this page, you will find practical information, facilities and contact details to help you tailor your visit to your needs. Together, we will ensure that Floraliën Gent is a place where everyone can flourish.
Are you visiting us with a wheelchair, walker, or do you have difficulty walking?
Do you have a parking permit for persons with disabilities? If so, you can park in the reserved parking spaces on Jan Hoetplein and Robert Hoozeepark. More information can be found on the City of Ghent website.
Do you like to use public transport? The nearest wheelchair-accessible bus stop is “Heuvelpoort”. Please note: this applies to the stop with buses going to Ghent Sint-Pieters Station on Citadellaan. The Heuvelpoort stop on Hofbouwlaan with buses going to the city centre is not wheelchair accessible. Plan your visit with De Lijn's route planner.
If you would like to use the bicycle taxi, you will find all the information you need to book it here.
When visiting Floraliën Gent, you can expect an 883-metre route through the Floraliënhal and the Kuipke. The route is completely barrier-free and therefore wheelchair accessible. We consulted the accessibility experts of the city of Ghent for this.
There are no wheelchairs available for use at Floraliën Gent.
Do you require guidance?
Upon presentation of your EDC card, your companion can visit Floraliën Gent free of charge. One free companion per EDC card is permitted, and this is only possible upon presentation of the EDC card at the ticket office.
Select the “Disabled person & (incl.) companion” ticket in the ticket shop. This ticket is valid for 2 people.
Assistance dogs are allowed on the Floralies site.
Are you blind or visually impaired?
Scattered along the route, you can learn about the different scents and textures of plants using sensory boxes. In addition, the Ghent Guides offer a tactile tour where, in addition to the sensory boxes, you can also count on a high-quality guided tour. Are you interested in this tour? Send an email to info@gentsegidsen.be.
Are you deaf or hard of hearing?
More information about initiatives or opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing people will be added here in the run-up to the event.
Need some peace and quiet and fewer impulses?
Enjoy a peaceful visit by purchasing tickets for our off-peak hours from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. or from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. During these hours, there are significantly fewer visitors, allowing you to enjoy all the beauty in peace and quiet.
