Yes, and it is quite a lovely train station at Ghent as well-but I would HIGHLY ADVISE spending more than part of a day in Ghent-when you get there, you'll see what I mean-easily 3 days-it's quite wonderful-an undiscovered jewel of Europe and one of my favorite cities-great place to pick up hand made lace-this is the lace making area of Belgium, and I have some lovely linen and lace pieces I picked up at a store just on the lKorenlei called, in English, "Home Linen"-you should stop in there for some lovely linen and lace items for yourself and gifts for friends.
Also, take one of the very inexpensive boat rides on the Korenlei-well worth it, particularly to see the castle Gravensteen with its moat, as you float by.
