belgium

An excellent choice for school groups of all ages. Belgium is packed with history, culture and charm. Historic medieval cities, busy harbours, clean sandy beaches and charming seaside resorts are just some of the many reasons for visiting this delightful friendly country.

 Ostend

Belgium’s premier sea resort has much to offer. With miles of wide, sandy beaches and an attractive, sea-front promenade, Ostend is a very popular choice for school groups.

Magnificently laid out parks and lively pedestrian shopping streets add to its attractions. Culture lovers will enjoy the prestigious Provincial Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Fine Arts. The impressively restored Fort Napoleon is the most important monument from Napoleonic times in Flanders. For hands-on activities, discover Earth Explorer, an adventurous journey through the four natural forces of earth, air, fire and water. Ostend is ideally located for excursions to most of the cities and attractions of major interest in Belgium.
