About this school trip

Barcelona is a city full of architecture, where Spanish and Catalan are spoken, and an interesting case study in urban economics and tourism. For upper secondary and vocational students, the Catalan capital makes for a study trip they will remember for a long time.

Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família is the city's best-known building, and in Park Güell your students also see how Gaudí blended nature and architecture. Book both visits well in advance. In the Eixample district, with its distinctive grid of city blocks, and in the old Gothic Quarter, students carry out their own urban research: how does the city cope with crowds, housing and tourism? Along the way they practise their Spanish in shops, at markets and on the street.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Barcelona. It is a distant destination, so we plan the journey with overnight stops on the way in France and plenty of rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver you travel safely, including on excursions in and around the city.
