About this school trip

The Airborne Museum Hartenstein in Oosterbeek is housed in Villa Hartenstein, the headquarters of the British airborne troops in September 1944. In the permanent exhibition, pupils follow the Battle of Arnhem day by day, and in the underground Airborne Experience they follow in the footsteps of a British paratrooper.

The museum offers educational programmes for primary schools, secondary schools and vocational schools. In 'Koffers vol Verhalen' (Suitcases Full of Stories), pupils aged around 9 to 13 discover the personal stories of civilians and soldiers. Older pupils get to work independently with the self-guided museum tour. A guided tour of the nearby war cemetery is also possible.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Oosterbeek. With our comfortable coach and experienced driver, your class travels safely to this historic place and back.
