About this school trip

Geneva is a remarkable destination for a study trip on international relations and physics. The city's international quarter is home to a great many international organisations. The Palais des Nations, the European headquarters of the United Nations, can only be visited on a guided tour. Where tours are available, your pupils get a behind-the-scenes look at international diplomacy.

For physics, CERN, just outside the city, is an absolute must. At the Science Gateway visitor centre, pupils discover how researchers study the building blocks of matter, through exhibitions and programmes in which CERN staff act as guides. Back in the centre, the shores of Lake Geneva and the famous Jet d'Eau make a lovely end to the day.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Geneva for you and your pupils. It is a long drive, which we spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks and, where needed, a planned overnight stop. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back safely, and the coach is also handy on site for the trip out to CERN.
