About this school trip

Bern is the federal city of Switzerland, which makes it an excellent destination for a study trip on democracy, government and heritage. The Swiss parliament and government meet in the Bundeshaus. With a guided tour, where one can be booked, your pupils gain an insight into Swiss politics and history, and an interesting comparison with the system in their own country.

The medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and compact enough to explore on foot. With almost six kilometres of covered arcades, known as the Lauben, Bern has one of the longest covered shopping promenades in Europe. The Zytglogge clock tower, the Baroque façades and the loop of the River Aare around the old town bring a city walk with assignments on heritage and urban development vividly to life.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Bern for you and your pupils. It is a long journey, so we spread the drive over the day with plenty of rest breaks and the group arrives well rested. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, you travel there and back safely and can focus entirely on the content of the trip.
