About this school trip

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is a fascinating destination for a study trip on history and European integration. Croatia joined the European Union in 2013, making it the newest member, and in Zagreb your pupils discover how the country has developed since the break-up of Yugoslavia. The city consists of a historic Upper Town and a nineteenth-century Lower Town, linked since 1890 by a little funicular.

On St Mark's Square in the Upper Town stands the thirteenth-century St Mark's Church with its colourful tiled roof. The Croatian parliament has met on the same square since 1737, a good starting point for a lesson on government. In the museums, such as the striking Museum of Broken Relationships, and with city assignments through the streets of the Upper and Lower Town, pupils explore the city's history for themselves.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Zagreb for you and your pupils. It is a long way, so we plan plenty of rest breaks and an overnight stop on the way. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back to school safely.
