About this school trip

Bologna is an ideal destination for a study trip on food culture, the urban economy and education. The University of Bologna dates back to 1088 and is regarded as the oldest in Europe. In the Archiginnasio, the university's main building from the sixteenth century onwards, you see the wooden anatomical theatre of 1637, where anatomy lessons were once given. It gives students a vivid picture of education through the centuries.

For research into the food chain, the Quadrilatero, the old market district, is the perfect starting point. Stalls selling fresh pasta, fish, meat, fruit and vegetables stand alongside historic shops, and in the Mercato di Mezzo food and enterprise come together. The famous porticoes, twelve sections of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, show how the city has made room for trade and meeting for centuries.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Bologna for you and your students. You travel in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver. The long drive is spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks or broken up with a planned stopover.
