Educational Trips in Berlin

A school trip to Berlin provides the perfect opportunity to ingratiate students into the complex and fascinating world of European culture and history.

Complimenting the natural benefits of developing German-language learning in situ, a Berlin school trip also enables groups to study its storied past while exploring the vibrancy of the modern-day capital.

Why we provide academic travel programs in Berlin:

School trips to Berlin offer students a unique exploration of twentieth-century history, from World War monuments to Cold War remnants. As a cultural capital, Berlin boasts fascinating museums, art galleries, and landmarks. Students can experience the city’s creative present through visits to concept malls, walking tours, and immersive German language lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Highlights of a Berlin school trip

Regardless of subject, there are plenty of must-dos to include on a Berlin itinerary:

  • The Brandenburg Gate – the city’s only surviving historical gate that, post-unification, has come to stand as a symbol of a united Berlin.
  • The Jewish Museum – here, the permanent exhibition focuses on Jewish life in the past and present, providing valuable insight into Jewish culture and traditions.
  • Deutsches Technisches Museum – students can take part in a fun scavenger hunt around the museum, which documents the cultural history of aeronautics, navigation, railways, telecommunications, and computer history.
  • The German Spy Museum – trace the history of espionage with interactive exhibits, gadgets & props from Bond movies.

When is the best time to take a school trip to Berlin?

Berlin’s status as an international culture hub means that the summer months can be busy with tourists. We recommend avoiding June to September, and instead focusing your trip on the slightly lower seasons – while the weather might be slightly colder, groups can see all the city’s landmarks in a slightly more leisurely manner. December can also be a very busy time as people flock to the city’s many Christmas Markets.

Can you combine a Berlin school trip with another destination?

Absolutely! While history students might wish to combine with a trip to Kraków, Poland for an extended and reflective educational tour, a shorter Berlin school trip might also include excursions to local cities like Potsdam.

Can I customise the itinerary?

All of our Learning Adventures can be tailored to meet your subject or curriculum needs.
