About this school trip

Zurich is Switzerland's largest city and a major financial and economic centre, which makes it a strong destination for a study trip on finance, innovation and urban planning. In the compact centre on the Limmat and Lake Zurich, your pupils see how a historic core, modern office districts and an extensive public transport network fit together.

For history and economics, the Landesmuseum, right behind the main station, is a good place to start. The permanent exhibition on the history of Switzerland and a guided tour on the cultural and economic history of Zurich provide plenty of context. The castle-like building from 1898, with its modern extension from 2016, is itself a fine lesson in architecture. For something lighter, you can visit the FIFA Museum. With city assignments around the Grossmünster, the banks of the Limmat and the business district, pupils explore the city for themselves.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Zurich for you and your pupils. It is a long drive, which we spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks. Our experienced driver takes your group there and back to school safely in a comfortable coach.
