School Cultural Trips to Bruges
Where medieval charm meets contemporary flair
A medieval city with more cultural draws than you can count, Bruges is Belgium’s crown jewel. Set against a backdrop of whitewashed almshouses and historic belfries, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. Weave your way down the canals, mingle amongst the market-goers and revel in the city’s never-ending collection of museums and galleries. Both charming and nostalgic with just a hint of magic, a school cultural trip to Bruges promises to be a memorable one.
