School trip to the Gravensteen

About this school trip

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the Gravensteen, a unique medieval castle in the heart of Ghent. Narrow tower staircases, sturdy battlements, halls that fire the imagination and sweeping views over the city make this castle an experience for young and old alike.

There is a wide range of options for schools. Nursery children go on a treasure hunt, pupils aged 6 to 12 explore the castle in programmes such as 'The clash of times' and 'Party at the castle', and for ages 12 to 18 there is a guided tour for secondary schools. Themes include knights, noble ladies, tournaments, banquets, and crime and punishment. A self-guided visit with an audio guide is possible from age 8.

All programmes are booked online, at least ten days in advance. ITS-Reizen takes your class to Ghent and back in a comfortable, safe coach, so the whole day can be devoted to knights and castles.
