About this school trip

Pisa is a special destination for a study trip on physics, architecture and history. On the Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, the Leaning Tower, the cathedral, the baptistery and the monumental cemetery stand side by side. Here your students see with their own eyes how medieval master builders worked and why the tower has been leaning for centuries.

For physics, Pisa is especially interesting: Galileo Galilei was born here. According to tradition, he dropped objects from the tower and studied a swinging lamp in the cathedral. These are great starting points for assignments on falling motion, centre of gravity and balance, in which students also learn to tell legend from proven science.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Pisa for you and your students. It is a long journey, so we plan the drive carefully, with plenty of rest breaks and a planned stopover or an additional driver. In our comfortable coach the group travels safely and comfortably to Tuscany and back to school.
