Nestled between France, Germany, and the Netherlands, Belgium is famous for its mussels, chocolates, beer, waffles, and french fries, which are served with mayonnaise rather than ketchup. Belgian artists created both the Smurfs and Tintin. Another cool fact is that they have more castles per square mile than any other country. Antwerp and Brussels are just a couple of the amazing towns in Belgium where you can enjoy a company retreat.
In Belgium you can visit tourist attractions like Atomium, Manneken Pis, Belfry of Bruges, Gravensteen, and the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert. You can also visit Grand Place or Parc du Cinquantenaire for some outdoor fun.
Besides the famous attractions you can find in Belgium, you can also discover plenty of team-building activities that inspire socialization, creativity, communication, and an overall better team performance.

We've put together this list of team-building activities in
Belgium
to help you get the most out of your visit.
Comic illustration workshops inspired by Brussels’ street art culture, waffle-making competitions in the Sablon district and jazz evenings near Saint-Géry give this retreat agenda a distinctly local Brussels atmosphere.
The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.
You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.
From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.
You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.
Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!
I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
Yes, Belgium is a strong choice for teams that want easy European travel, historic cities, great food, and short transfer times. It works especially well for remote teams that want a company retreat in Belgium with both productive sessions and relaxed social experiences.
Belgium is compact, international, and easy to move around. Teams can combine Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, beer tastings, chocolate workshops, canal tours, and medieval architecture without long travel days.
Brussels is best for international access and business events. Antwerp works well for creative teams, fashion, food, and nightlife. Bruges and Ghent are better for scenic, culture-led offsites with walkable historic centers.
Brussels Airport (BRU) is around 20–30 minutes from central Brussels by train or taxi. Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) is useful for low-cost European routes, while Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges are easy to reach by train.
May to June and September to October are usually the best months, with mild weather and good conditions for walking tours, cycling, terraces, and outdoor team-building. December can also work well for Christmas markets.
Popular options include Belgian chocolate workshops, beer tastings, canal boat tours in Bruges or Ghent, cycling tours, city scavenger hunts, cooking classes, escape rooms, and group dinners in traditional brasseries.
Yes, Belgium is ideal for 2 to 3 day offsites because the country is compact and well connected. In our experience, teams can fit in meetings, group meals, and one or two memorable activities without losing time to long transfers.
Most company retreats in Belgium last 3 to 4 days. This gives enough time for work sessions, team building, cultural activities, and informal dinners while keeping the schedule realistic for international arrivals.
Belgium is excellent for food-focused retreats. Teams can try Belgian waffles, fries, mussels, chocolate tastings, beer pairings, brewery visits, and group dinners in historic restaurants or relaxed brasseries.
