Berlin
Berlin is the perfect location for a school German language tour for students. Berlin has become a culturally diverse, dynamic, exciting, and student-friendly capital at the forefront of European youth culture.
School groups have the option of including German lessons with our partner German language school in the heart of the Mitte district.
Berlin can easily be explored on foot or by using the u-bahn or s-bahn, making your school German trip to Berlin a sustainable and less expensive option without the need for coach hire.
Students will be able to walk along a remaining section of the Berlin Wall, have their photo taken with the border guards at Checkpoint Charlie, visit the former HQ of the SS and gestapo, and obtain a far greater understanding of Berlin with a guided walking tour of the city.
Curriculum Links
Berlin is a brilliant cross-curricular destination, with a rich history and culture that offers students excellent opportunities to practise their German. After lessons, students can visit historical sites, such as the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the Reichstag, visit museums and enjoy open-air concerts.
