Luggage storage at Gent Sint-Pieters

Many travellers pass through Gent Sint-Pieters with time to spare before a train or check-in, and the station is well connected enough that dropping a bag and heading into town is straightforward.

The station itself is step-free and well linked by tram and bus to the centre, but it has no official left-luggage facility of its own. Nearby, the Museum of Fine Arts, S.M.A.K., and Ghent City Museum sit a short walk away, and Koningin Maria Hendrikaplein outside has places to eat. If you planned around there being no official facility, note that Gent Sint-Pieters actually has automated luggage lockers in sizes from M to XXL. The station luggage lockers are split between the waiting area and a pedestrian tunnel beside the main building. The lockers are rented per day, so even a quick bag drop is charged as a full one-day minimum. You can reserve a locker ahead online, which helps during busy travel periods. Gent Sint-Pieters is an NMBS/SNCB station, the same national railway operator that runs the locker service. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag a day.
