Berlin, Prague and Budapest 1 Week School Trip

Eight-day school trip through Berlin, Prague and Budapest by train and coach

Illustration of Berlin, Prague and Budapest 1 Week School Trip

Euroventure organises this eight-day school and academic trip across three Central European capitals: Berlin, Prague and Budapest. Starting in Berlin, students spend two days exploring Cold War history at the DDR Museum and Berlin Wall Memorial before travelling by train to Prague for two days of medieval architecture centred on Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. The group then trains to Budapest for three days, visiting Buda Castle, taking a Danube river cruise and relaxing at the Szechenyi thermal baths. Throughout, a dedicated tour leader manages all logistics, with one teacher travelling free for every ten students. All accommodation, meals, transport and entrance fees are included, and the itinerary can be customised by academic subject or activity focus. This structure suits school groups seeking guided, all-in travel with history and culture at its core.
