Belgium is the perfect destination for students to dive into history without travelling too far from the UK. Visit medieval towns, historic Brussels and WW1 battlefields on your next school trip to Belgium.
The majority of our trips to Belgium focus on the study of WW1. Visits to Ypres, Mons and key battlefields just across the French border give students a vivid insight into Belgium’s wartime history and the experiences of those affected by the conflict.
Miraculously, considering the number of wars and conflicts that have occurred in Belgium, the main cities have retained their medieval charm and atmosphere. There is an abundance of historical and architectural landmarks in Brussels that are a must-see for history students.
Highlights include the Royal Palace and the King's House, which houses a museum showcasing Brussels history and development.

The Euro Space Center, just 90 minutes from Brussels, makes Belgium an ideal destination for a science school trip. With the help of Voyager School Travel, you can arrange a remarkable few days that your students will never forget.
The Euro Space Center is an exciting combination of learning and activity, which gives students the rare opportunity to experience what life is like as an astronaut. Over four days, students will take part in astronaut training, mission simulators, and even experience a zero gravity wall. They will also be given a rocket workshop, a planetarium show and a workshop on the history of space exploration, and more!
The whole experience is enhanced by your party actually living on site, with basic accommodation in the form of crew sleeping rooms, and a communal dining area, just like the real thing!
In the nearby area, there are plenty of fun activities to fill your evenings with, too! Why not experience a torchlit castle tour? Or bring everyone’s competitive sides out with a trip to the bowling alley, an escape room, or laser tag!
A school trip to Belgium would also not be complete without visiting its magnificent palaces and architecture scattered around. With such a wide variety of excursions on offer, a trip to Belgium really is a fantastic option for your next school trip.

The best time for a school trip to Belgium is during the milder months of April, May, June, September and October. During these months, the weather is generally pleasant, and attractions are less crowded, making visits more enjoyable and easier to manage for school groups.
July and August are the busiest months, with higher tourist numbers and limited availability, so these are less ideal for educational trips. Planning your visit in the shoulder seasons allows for a smoother, more focused learning experience and a more relaxed schedule for both teachers and students.
The cost of a school trip to Belgium can vary depending on factors such as the length of the trip, the number of students, the type of accommodation, the activities included, and transport options.
At Voyager School Travel, we work with you to create a bespoke itinerary that fits your curriculum goals, budget, and travel requirements. This means you only pay for the experiences and services that your group needs.

A Belgium school trip broadens students' understanding of remembrance and commemoration, including the option to attend the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. Students also experience Belgian culture and cities like Brussels first-hand, from architecture and museums to local food traditions, giving them real-world exposure.
Visits to Ypres and the surrounding battlefields bring the WW1 topic to life for GCSE History students, supporting units on conflict and the impact of war. Seeing the cemeteries, memorials and preserved trenches in person helps students engage with primary sources and develop the kind of first-hand understanding that's hard to replicate in the classroom.
Most of our educational trips to Belgium focus on History, particularly WW1; the destination also supports Science through the Euro Space Centre, as well as broader cultural or language learning in Brussels. We can tailor the itinerary to combine subjects, such as History and Science, if your group covers more than one.
We have created a number of useful guides that can help you plan and book your next school trip with Voyager School Travel.
