School trips to the Costa Brava offer the best of both worlds – the rich culture of a famed, busy city with the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside!

The region's biggest city, Barcelona, is a great choice for so many different subjects, from Spanish, art and fashion to food technology and geography. This makes it a great choice for a cross-curricular school trip, offering more students the opportunity to experience this fabulous city.

Whatever your reason for visiting, we’ll tailor-make your school trip to ensure that it meets your specific requirements and learning objectives. And we’ll be with you every step of the way, including during the trip itself, when we’ll be just one phone call away, whatever the time of day or night.

Why visit the Costa Brava?

Explore a dynamic city

Barcelona is one of Europe’s most attractive cities, with some truly unique architecture that will continuously take your students by surprise.

And the city’s buzzing atmosphere is always a big hit with students too – as well as being rich in history, Barcelona also has a modern creative edge that is truly inspirational.

Barcelona offers endless experiences, from exploring the architecture of Gaudi at the Sagrada Familia or Park Guell to enjoying tapas tours and visiting sports stadiums, such as the Camp Nou or the Olympic Stadium.

We can even include visits to Waterworld or Port Aventura to add another exciting element to your trip, making it stand out from the competition from other trips offered at school!

One of our favourite cities in Europe and our most popular destination in Spain, we know Barcelona extremely well and so can provide expert advice and information on where to stay and what to see and do. Learn more about a school trip to Barcelona.

Enjoy the spectacular coast

Many of our groups choose to stay in one of the lovely coastal resorts on the Costa Brava, such as Calella or Lloret de Mar.

These resorts offer easy access to all that the city of Barcelona offers but with the added bonus of being able to relax on the beach once the day’s visits are done.
