About this school trip

Budapest is an impressive destination for a study trip on the Cold War, architecture and Europe. The banks of the Danube between Margaret Bridge and Liberty Bridge are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Hungarian Parliament Building as the centrepiece. A visit to the parliament is possible through the visitor centre, where it can be booked.

On Andrássy Avenue stands the House of Terror. The museum commemorates the people who were imprisoned, tortured and killed in this building, and tells the story of the fascist and communist dictatorships in Hungary. Because the subject makes a deep impression, we recommend careful preparation in class and a debrief after the visit. Buda Castle, the bridges and the architecture on both sides of the river show how the city has developed over the centuries.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Budapest for you and your pupils. It is a long way, so we plan an overnight stop on the way and plenty of rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back safely and in a relaxed way.
