About this school trip

Brno, the Czech Republic's second city, is a surprising destination for a study trip on science, design and architecture. The city is known for its functionalist architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, crowned by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Villa Tugendhat. The villa has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2001 and shows how innovative living and technology came together at the time.

At the VIDA! science centre on the exhibition grounds your students discover science in a hands-on way. With more than 150 interactive exhibits, grouped into themes such as Planet, Civilisation, Human and Microworld, theory becomes tangible. Petrov Cathedral and Špilberk Castle also make good stops on a city walk. Please note: Villa Tugendhat has limited capacity, so book a guided tour well in advance – we are happy to help with that.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Brno for you and your students. Because it is a long way, we plan a stopover on the way or break up the drive with generous rest breaks. That way the group travels safely and comfortably in our coach to Brno and back.
