Your school trip to Munich will give your students the opportunity to explore a historic German city that remains an important cultural centre for modern Germany!
Munich is the third-largest city in Germany and the capital of Bavaria. Munich is an important centre for art, science and culture, and the city’s museums, vibrant art scene and string of festivals make for a diverse and educational trip.
This sophisticated city has a long history and boasts a range of historical and cultural activities, especially for those studying the Nazis and the Holocaust. During the 1920s, Munich was the home of a number of emerging political factions, including the NSDAP, which is why the Nazis called the city the ‘Capital of the Movement’.
Munich is a truly charismatic city and an excellent choice for a German school trip, especially if you are looking for a trip that will both introduce your students to the German culture and inspire in them a passion for the language and the country.
Some of the most popular visits among our groups include Neuschwanstein, a fairy tale castle made famous by Disney, and the Olympic Park constructed for the 1972 Olympic Games, which remains a marvel of modern engineering.

Meet our travel specialists and get to know more about the people committed to making your educational trip the best it can be.
Most school groups who choose to visit Munich do so on a history or culture-based trip. But whatever your reasons for visiting, we’ll tailor make your school trip to Munich to ensure that it suits your curriculum and specific learning objectives.
Most history groups who choose to visit Munich do so as part of their studies of the Nazis and the Holocaust and many choose to include a visit to nearby Nuremberg to complete the trip. On a history school trip, you could choose to take a walking tour with a focus on National Socialism and resistance, where your students will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the city at the beginning of Hitler’s political career.
You’ll also be able to visit the White Rose Foundation’s memorial exhibition, where your students will learn more about the White Rose students’ resistance movement. Interactive media installations will allow your students to discover the individual stories of members, including Sophie and Hans Scholl. They’ll find out about their motives, their activities and their fate.
German language groups can also spend some time discovering the city’s history. But you may also want to include some cultural visits, to places like the spectacular Baroque Schloss Nymphenburg, or Bavaria Film Studios, where students can take a ride on Falkor from The Neverending Story, and walk around the submarine from Das Boot!
