School Trips To Cologne

The city of Cologne is an ideal destination for school groups. Whether you're keen to develop their German language skills or looking to take them on a Christmas reward trip, you'll find that Cologne is a safe, attractive and compact city with great student appeal. 

You can choose to travel by coach or air, dependent on your budget and student numbers. You have the option of staying solely in Cologne to enjoy the Christmas markets or the wide range of museums and activities that will stimulate your language students learning, or you can look at adding on day trips, taking a drive to the picturesque middle Rhine area or enjoying the famous Phantasialand theme park. Cologne really is a fantastic option for a German school trip base.
