About this school trip

Český Krumlov in South Bohemia is an ideal destination for a study trip on heritage, tourism and urban development. Its historic centre, set in a bend of the Vltava, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 4 December 1992, as one of the first Czech towns to receive that status. Above the town rises the castle complex, the second largest in the Czech Republic.

For your students, Český Krumlov is a living case study. How do you preserve a medieval town centre while keeping it a place where people live and work? What does the steady stream of visitors mean for residents, shops and the streetscape? With observation and interview tasks in the old town and around the castle, students investigate the tension between conservation, tourism and liveability.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Český Krumlov. It is a long journey, so we plan a stopover along the way or break up the drive with generous rest stops. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, the group travels safely to South Bohemia and back.
