About this school trip

York is an open-air history lesson. Founded by the Romans, the city grew into the Viking centre of Jorvik and flourished in the Middle Ages. At the JORVIK Viking Centre, built on the site of the Coppergate excavations where archaeologists found more than 40,000 objects from the Viking Age, your students take a ride through a reconstructed tenth-century Viking street. For schools there are interactive programmes with Viking guides and workshops.

A walk along the old city walls gives a wonderful overview of the medieval city. The highlight is York Minster, one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world and a masterpiece of stained glass and stone. In one compact city, lower and upper secondary students experience almost two thousand years of history.

We are happy to take care of the transport to York for you and your students. You travel in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver, including the ferry crossing or the journey through the Channel Tunnel, with plenty of rest breaks along the way. For the United Kingdom every traveller needs a valid passport; also check in good time whether a UK ETA or a visa is required.
