About this school trip

Tallinn is a study destination full of contrasts. The old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 and was once a prosperous Hanseatic town. Around 1.85 kilometres of the medieval city wall survive, with 26 defensive towers. The Gothic town hall on Raekoja plats is regarded as the only surviving Gothic town hall in Northern Europe. It is ideal for lessons on the Middle Ages and trade around the Baltic Sea.

At the same time, Estonia is considered one of the most digitalised societies in the world. At the e-Estonia Briefing Centre, groups (by appointment) learn about digital government services, interoperability and cybersecurity. For older secondary pupils and vocational students, this is a hands-on introduction to themes such as digitalisation, privacy and digital resilience.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Tallinn for you and your pupils. It is a long journey, so the outward trip is broken up by rest breaks and a planned overnight stop, and everyone arrives well rested. ITS-Reizen provides a comfortable, safe coach and an experienced driver for carefree travel throughout the trip, including outings on site.
