About this school trip

Graz, Austria's second city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds the title of UNESCO City of Design. It is precisely this combination of historic heritage and innovative design that makes Graz well suited to a study trip on design, architecture and the sustainable city for upper secondary and vocational students.

In the historic city centre your students walk past courtyards, rooftops and streets that reveal centuries of urban planning. The Kunsthaus Graz, with its striking blue, organic shape, sharpens the discussion about modern design in a historic setting. The Murinsel, an island of steel and glass in the River Mur, is free to visit. From the Schlossberg with its famous clock tower they can see how the city is laid out, and at Eggenberg Palace, with its museums and large park, they get to know Baroque architecture.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Graz. It is a long journey, so we plan an overnight stop on the way or spread the drive with plenty of rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver you travel safely and in comfort.
