School Trips - Berlin

Berlin tells the story of Imperial power, the birth and death of regimes, race and persecution and, eventually, a return to stable democracy. With visits to the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the Jewish Museum, Sachsenhausen and the Stasi Museum, your pupils gain a deeper understanding of the rise of National Socialism, life under the Nazi regime, the Holocaust, the fall of Hitler's Germany, the Cold War and unification of a divided country. So much to learn in one city and that is before you start on the modern Berlin full of Science & Technology and the amazing cultural and music history of a city boasting three opera houses and over 150 theatres! With numerous low cost flights to Berlin and a superb public transport getting to, and around, the city has never been easier.
