School Trips to Poland

Poland brings 20th-century history to life in a way few other destinations can, which is why so many schools choose it for a history school trip. Krakow's nearly perfectly preserved Gothic old town sits alongside layers of Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture, while Auschwitz-Birkenau is close by for groups studying this period in depth. Tell us what your group's studying and we'll suggest where Poland could fit.

Most schools travelling with us to Poland head to Auschwitz, Krakow or Warsaw. Krakow and Auschwitz often go together on one itinerary, while Warsaw works well as a school trip of its own. If you have a different city in mind, let us know when you enquire and we'll see what's possible.

Auschwitz-Birkenau is one of the most significant sites associated with the Holocaust, offering students a powerful opportunity to deepen their understanding of this period of history through visiting the site itself. Our History in Auschwitz and Krakow trip combines this visit with time in Krakow's old town. It's a hard-hitting and moving experience that stays with students long after they're home. For more information, ask about this school trip when you enquire.

Warsaw pairs serious history with a genuinely modern, vibrant city, which makes it a trip students remember for more than one reason. Our History in Warsaw trip visits the Warsaw Uprising Museum, the historic Old Town and the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Send us your group's focus and we'll talk you through how the itinerary could work.
