About this school trip

Ljubljana is an inspiring destination for a study trip on sustainability, urban planning and the environment. The Slovenian capital was European Green Capital in 2016. Since 2008 the historic centre has been largely car-free, giving space to pedestrians and cyclists. Here your pupils see for themselves how a city makes choices in favour of liveable, green public space.

The River Ljubljanica runs straight through the centre. In the last century the architect Jože Plečnik gave the city much of its character, including the embankments along the river, the Triple Bridge and the central market. With assignments along the river, in the pedestrian zone and in the green areas, pupils investigate how urban planning, heritage and sustainability work together. A visit to the castle above the city gives a good overview of its layout.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Ljubljana for you and your pupils. Because of the distance, we plan plenty of rest breaks and an overnight stop on the way. Our experienced driver takes your group there and back safely in a comfortable coach, so that you can focus entirely on the programme.
