A business studies school trip to Frankfurt offers your students the opportunity to explore the beating heart of the German economy, the financial centre of the Eurozone and home to the German Stock Exchange!
Frankfurt is dominated by the presence of major banks, stock exchanges and a number of large financial institutions. On your school trip to Frankfurt, your business studies students will learn about the economies of both Germany and the EU, on visits to places such as the European Central Bank and the Stock Exchange.
You’ll also get to see behind-the-scenes of many of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Goethe House, Main Tower and the Commerzbank-Arena Football Stadium.
Have you considered teaming up with your school's maths department to turn this into a cross-curricular school trip?
