Brussels Drama Tour
About this tour
Brussels has a long History with the arts and some fabulous Theatres. Close by in Antwerp is the Bourla Theatre – the last remaining theatre in Europe with its original stage machinery dating back to 1834.
All of our performance tours are created from scratch. The reason for this is that many schools require a combination of performances, perhaps a choir plus a band and maybe even a little Jazz. So venues are carefully chosen to mix and match your tour to suit all requirements.
Accommodation
As in most large cities, the accommodation you choose will depend on your choice of style and location.
- Hotels: We can offer a range of two- and three-star hotels around the Brussels area ( usually Ibis Hotels ) Most are in the suburbs as central hotels tend to blow student budgets. All have buffet breakfast and most offer an evening meal for groups.
- Youth Centers: These are available both in and around the city. Students will meet with other groups in these centers. Within the city, most youth centers require that you return for your evening meal.
