About this school trip

Cologne is an excellent destination for a short study trip on German language, Roman history and religion. The city was founded by the Romans as Colonia, making it one of the oldest cities in Germany. Towering above everything is the cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and an impressive example of Gothic architecture. Here your students can discuss faith, art and centuries of building history.

The Römisch-Germanisches Museum presents the city's Roman past. The museum is being renovated and is showing key pieces in a temporary exhibition at the Belgisches Haus. Between the sights, your students get to work on language tasks around the city: asking the way, reading menus or conducting a short interview. That way German becomes a living language.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Cologne. From the north of the Netherlands it is an easy day's drive, with a rest stop along the way. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels safely and relaxed to the Rhineland and back to school.
