School Trips to Belgium

Often described as the ‘Pearl of the Low Countries’, Belgium is a beautiful country with a unique mixture of influences from neighbouring France, Netherlands and Germany. Our school trips to Belgium are excellent for students, offering a wide range of educational and cultural experiences to enjoy. 

Why go on a school trip to Belgium?

Belgian architecture is second to none, whether you’re touring the majestic grade-listed buildings of Ghent or discovering the origins of Art Nouveau in Brussels, if your focus is history, where better to get a true experience of World War I than the deeply moving sites and museums at Ypres and Flanders Fields.

And of course, no school trip to Belgium is complete without a visit to the Musée Magritte or the Comic Strip Centre, home of Belgian cartoon culture and famous creations such as Tintin. The country is also known for its artisan chocolatiers who set the standard for European confectionery.

What’s more, travel time from the UK during a school trip to Belgium is easy and quick compared to other European countries. Take some time to look through the range of trips we offer, or give us a call for more information or advice.
