About this school trip

No city brings classical antiquity as close as Rome. In the Colosseum Archaeological Park your students visit the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine: the heart of ancient Rome, where politics, religion and daily life came together. This is also where citizenship topics come to life, such as power, citizenship and government in the Roman Republic and the Empire.

In the Vatican Museums you see artistic treasures from many centuries, with the Sistine Chapel as the highlight. The museums offer educational routes for schools that combine the Sistine Chapel with, for example, the Raphael Rooms or the Egyptian collection. In this way you combine classical antiquity, art and citizenship in one trip for lower secondary, upper secondary and vocational students.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Rome for you and your students. You travel in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver. Given the distance, we plan an overnight stopover on both the outward and the return journey, so that everyone arrives well rested.
