About this school trip

No city tells the story of the twentieth century as powerfully as Berlin. For a study trip on the Second World War, the Cold War and democracy, the German capital is the obvious choice. At the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, your students stand on the very spots where history was made.

In the Reichstag building, home of the Bundestag, groups can visit the glass dome; registration in advance is required. Along the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, students see how the Wall divided the city from 1961 to 1989. The city's many museums complete the programme. Because war, persecution and dictatorship are heavy subjects, we recommend careful preparation beforehand and a debrief with your students afterwards.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Berlin. We spread the drive over the day with plenty of rest stops. Once there, the coach takes the group comfortably from one site to the next, and afterwards safely back to school.
