About this school trip

Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is one of the best-known Gothic cathedrals in the world and a superb destination for a trip about architecture and history. Inside, pupils marvel at the enormous pillars, the soaring vaults and the colourful stained-glass windows. At the heart of the cathedral lies the Shrine of the Three Kings, which made Cologne a major place of pilgrimage for centuries.

Those who dare can climb the tower for a wonderful view over Cologne and the Rhine. The Domschatzkammer, with its precious church treasures, is also well worth a visit, and guided tours can be booked through the cathedral. Please note: since July 2026 there is a charge for visiting the cathedral; ideally, book online in advance.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Cologne for you and your pupils. In a comfortable coach, with an experienced driver, your class travels safely and in a relaxed way to this lively city on the Rhine.
