Why visit Brussels?

Explore the capital of the EU

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and is also the de facto capital of the European Union. The city became a major centre for international politics after the Second World War and is now home to many of the most important institutions in the EU. It’s also home to the headquarters of NATO and the secretariat of the Benelux.

Brussels’ position at the political heart of the EU has led many multinational companies to base their regional or world headquarters in the city. In fact, it’s estimated that over 50,000 businesses have a presence in Brussels. So, on a business studies school trip to Brussels, you’ll be able to choose from a great variety of visits to help support your curriculum and learning objectives.

A business studies school trip to Brussels can include visits to the National Bank of Belgium, large multinationals like Coca Cola, or local businesses such as the Cantillon Brewery. Plus, your students can take part in a workshop at Oxfam, which will transport them into the worldwide economy, showing them its mechanisms and the importance of responsible consumerism.

Inspire future scientists

Brussels is a really exciting destination for science school trips! Science school trips to Brussels can include visits to the iconic Atomium, which was built for the 1958 World Fair.

Visit the Euro Space Centre for an interactive experience of space and rocket science, and the opportunity to experience the life of an astronaut. And head to Technopolis, where your students will love the many exciting experiments showing them the real-life applications of science. Or stare down the trunk of a mammoth at the Museum of Natural Sciences!

Discover Belgian cuisine

Brussels is also an excellent choice for a food technology school trip. Belgium is famous for waffles, beer and chocolate and your students will love exploring how these products are made and their role in Belgian culture.

A food technology school trip to Brussels is also an exciting prospect for students. Head to a fruit and vegetable auction to find out more about supply chains or learn all about the art of chocolate making (and eating!) at a local chocolaterie.
