About this school trip

Plzeň is an excellent destination for a study trip on industry, technology and economics. The city grew into an industrial centre thanks to the Škoda Works, founded in 1859, which became one of the largest industrial groups in Europe. That heritage is still visible everywhere and makes Plzeň a great case study for lessons on industrialisation and economic development.

The Techmania Science Center is housed in historic factory halls on the former Škoda site. Here your students get stuck into interactive exhibitions on physics and technology, visit the 3D planetarium and watch science shows. Along the industrial trail with its eleven stops they follow in the footsteps of the industrialists who shaped the city, and in the centre the historic underground passages show how the city was built centuries ago.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Plzeň for you and your students. It is a long drive, which we spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver the whole group travels safely to West Bohemia and back to school.
