Fun ideas for team activities and team building days in Brussels
Tastings
One of the most popular activities on team building days are wine tastings. Well-known are the wine and cheese tastings. But depending on the location of the activity, the products vary.
Being in Brussels, it is impossible to imagine that chocolate and beer are not among the top choices. And yes, they are.
In the case of chocolate, you'll be able to enjoy high-level tastings, where you'll learn to appreciate the different nuances of the many types of chocolate available. You'll also learn how to make this sweet delicacy, even creating your own bar.
Of course, you can take home your creation afterwards, if you don't eat it first. Don't forget to take a stroll around the best chocolate shops in Brussels, which will make a great souvenir for your friends back home.
We are still in the world of tasting, but we switch to beer. We all know that Brussels is renowned as the home of some of the best craft beers. And of course, you have the option of becoming an expert in this millenary beverage.
As with chocolate, beer tastings will focus on first opening your horizons about the drink with tastings of various types of beer, and then learning to savour the different flavours and nuances.
You will learn all about its history in the country and how it is brewed, both in terms of methods and the tools and machinery used. Don't forget to visit the most beautiful taverns in Brussels and make your own ranking of the best places to drink beer in the Belgian capital.
If you want a moment of relaxation but without forgetting the beer, Brussels hides a wonderful surprise for all of you; enjoy a good beer immersed... in beer.
That's right, there is a spa called The Good Beer Spa where everything revolves around beer and it's an experience worth having as a team to have a great time.
Discover Brussels as a team
We invite you to take to the streets and see all that Brussels has to offer. Forget about going on a normal sightseeing tour. There's nothing better for team building than working together and discovering Brussels as a team.
Walk around all the monuments and historical sites, accompanied by your team and guided by your desire to solve mysteries and advance in the investigation. That's right, because what we propose is a tour of the historic centre that combines history, monuments and solving riddles and puzzles with the help of an app.
It's another way to team up, learn to collaborate and cooperate together and, what's more, go sightseeing in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
And if you want to keep innovating but still collaborate and act as a good solid team, we recommend you to take your bikes and venture through the streets of the Belgian capital.
There are companies that will guide you and show you the most beautiful and interesting spots and stops in Brussels, taking you on a tour from a completely different point of view.
Travelling
How about travelling with your whole team and discovering new places without leaving Brussels? A trip to a nearby city is a great idea for your team building day.
There are many Belgias and the city of Brussels does not represent the whole country. It is a very important part, a cosmopolitan city that is the heart of the European Union, but not all of Belgium is like that.
There is nothing better than travelling to discover and use Brussels as your base. You can visit the city of Ghent, half an hour away by train, or Antwerp, known as the City of Diamonds, just over 45 minutes away.
In this way, have breakfast in the centre of Brussels, get to know Ghent and then have dinner and rest back in Brussels. Very few places on the continent have such close proximity to their cities as here.
And to spend the night in Brussels, there is no better place to stay than in the best hostel in the city of Brussels; Latroupe Grand Place. It is located in the very heart of the capital, close to all services and with the possibility to book complete rooms for your whole team.
Brussels is this and much more. Not just for teams looking for a good time, if you've imagined Brussels as the perfect place for a three-day getaway alone, to meet people from all over the world and enjoy the best Belgian craft beer, you're absolutely right, it's a great plan.
If you see yourself enjoying a couple of days in the Belgian capital with your partner, visiting Brussels' main monuments and discovering its most romantic restaurants, you have once again come up with a wonderful idea.
Do you love travelling as a family? Brussels loves families, and has some great plans for families with children so you can all enjoy your getaway. But is Brussels for everyone?
Yes, Brussels offers such a wide and varied range of leisure activities that everyone is welcome in the capital. And, of course, it is also one of the best cities in Europe for team building days.
Where to sleep during team building days in Brussels
As mentioned above, you need a place where you can be close to all the sights and attractions of Brussels, as well as its amenities, and where it won't interfere with your rest.
The best option is the Latroupe Grand Place hostel. Its facilities welcome travellers from all over the world and of all kinds; from backpackers to families, from companies to groups of friends.
This makes for the best atmosphere in the city, made up of people from all walks of life wanting to have a good time and meet people.
