About this school trip

Luxembourg City is a compact and varied destination for a study trip on Europe. On the Kirchberg plateau, one of the seats of the European Union, you will find the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Investment Bank and the European Court of Auditors, among others. It is a great opportunity to talk with your pupils about European cooperation, economics and the role of a small country with a large financial sector.

The old town and its fortifications have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. In the Bock Casemates, a network of underground passages extended by the Austrians in the eighteenth century, it becomes clear why the city was called the 'Gibraltar of the North'. With its three official languages, Luxembourg is also a living example of multilingualism, ideal for languages and social studies.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Luxembourg City for you and your pupils. From Friesland the journey is easily done in a single day, with the necessary rest breaks along the way. ITS-Reizen provides a comfortable, safe coach and an experienced driver, including for getting around between the old town and Kirchberg.
