About this school trip

Strasbourg is one of the seats of the European Parliament, which makes it an ideal destination for a study trip on European politics. In the European Quarter, your students see striking modern architecture, including the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights. Where possible, you can visit the Parliament itself, including the Parlamentarium Simone Veil with its 360-degree room and interactive touch tables explaining how the Parliament works.

The historic city centre, the Grande Île, has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988; the Neustadt was added in 2017. The city lies in Alsace, where French and German influences have met for centuries. That makes Strasbourg especially rewarding for French and German too. Here your students experience how border history and European cooperation are connected.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Strasbourg. It is a long drive, so we spread it over the day with plenty of rest stops and the group arrives well rested. Our comfortable coach and experienced driver take you there and back safely.
