About this school trip

Wrocław is a city with a striking history. Until 1945 it was called Breslau and was German; after the Second World War it became Polish and largely gained new inhabitants. That makes Wrocław a vivid case study of Europe's shifting borders, suitable for both lower and upper secondary students.

The market square with its Gothic town hall has been the heart of the city since the thirteenth century. On Ostrów Tumski, the oldest part of Wrocław, stand the cathedral and churches from the early thirteenth century. The Centennial Hall (Hala Stulecia) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a milestone in modern architecture. In the Racławice Panorama your students stand in the middle of a painting measuring 15 by 114 metres. And if you look carefully, you will spot little bronze gnomes all over the city: perfect for a treasure hunt.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Wrocław. The journey is spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks or a planned stopover. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver you travel safely and in comfort.
