Bus Hire in Lokeren

Lokeren sits in the heart of the Waasland region of East Flanders, on the Durme river between Ghent (30 km west) and Antwerp (35 km north). The town is best known for its association with the Flemish expressionist artist Constant Permeke, whose work is celebrated at the Stedelijk Museum. The medieval church of Sint-Laurentius and the riverside walks along the Durme draw heritage and nature groups.

Coach access from Lokeren is excellent via the E17 motorway, which connects directly to both Ghent and Antwerp in under 35 minutes. For groups based in Antwerp or Ghent needing transport to Waasland, Lokeren is a practical staging point with good parking facilities.

Ghent and Antwerp Day Trips

Ghent's historic centre -- Gravensteen castle, the Altarpiece of the Mystic Lamb at Sint-Baafskathedraal, and the STAM city museum -- is under 35 minutes west by coach. Antwerp's Royal Museum of Fine Arts and port district are under 35 minutes north. Both cities offer designated coach parking.

Waasland Heritage

The Waasland polders are a distinctive flat agricultural landscape shaped by generations of drainage engineering. Group itineraries in the area combine Lokeren's Permeke museum with the Waasland History Museum in Sint-Niklaas (12 km north), giving a full-day programme within a compact radius.
