History school trips to Belgium
Belgium is the perfect destination for students to dive into history without travelling too far from the UK. Visit medieval towns, historic Brussels and World War I battlefields on your next school trip to Belgium.
The majority of trips we send to Belgium are concerned with the study of the First World War. Visits to Ypres, Mons, and key battlefields just across the French border give students a vivid understanding of the country’s wartime suffering.
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 must sees for everybody, but in particular history students.
Highlights include the Royal Palace and the King's House which houses a museum showcasing Brussels’s history and development..

Science school trip to Belgium
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.
