0115 9404 303School German trip to Köln and Phantasialand
The Cathedral city of Cologne has a lot to offer a school group exploring the German language, and a visit to Phantasialand is a great way of educating through entertainment.
Old Berlin is just one example of Phantasialand's many theme areas. Each has its own individual character but they all have one thing in common: the potential for learning through experience. The highlights of a visit to Cologne include the famous gothic cathedral, a Rhine boat trip and not forgetting the Lindt Chocolate Museum.
