About this school trip

Gothenburg, Sweden's second city, is a true port city on the west coast. The port at the mouth of the Göta älv is regarded as the largest in Scandinavia, making it a perfect case study for maritime engineering, logistics and trade. From the quays your students see container ships, ferries and harbour cranes, while the centre shows how former shipyard sites are becoming new neighbourhoods.

At Universeum, Gothenburg's science centre, science and technology go hand in hand. Students discover a rainforest, a large aquarium and interactive exhibitions on technology, the human body and sustainability. With engineering tasks at the port, for example on buoyancy, ship design and energy, you turn theory straight into practice.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Gothenburg. We drive via Germany and Denmark, with a ferry crossing and the Øresund Bridge, or choose a ferry direct to Sweden. We spread the drive over the day with generous rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver your group travels safely and in comfort.
