About this school trip

Bruges is a beautiful destination for a study trip on the Middle Ages, water and heritage. The entire historic city centre is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The reien, the canals of Bruges, recall the time when the city was one of the most important trading centres in Europe. For students in the last years of primary school and in lower secondary, history really comes to life here.

The Belfry on the Markt was built in stages between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries and is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb the tower and you pass the carillon with its 47 bells. In the museums of Bruges, your students discover art and heritage in historic settings. With trails through the lanes and along the water, they learn how water, trade and craftsmanship shaped the city.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Bruges, with a rest stop along the way. Our comfortable coach and experienced driver make sure your group travels there and back safely and relaxed, so you can give your students your full attention.
