Austria
A city at the heart of global affairs.
One of the great things about having Europe on our doorstep is the sheer choice of school trip destinations.
With so many cities to pick from, places like Geneva can sometimes fly under the radar. But there’s so much here for young minds.
Home to the Red Cross, the World Economic Forum (WEF), parts of the United Nations, and CERN, it’s a place of groundbreaking ideas and world-changing discoveries.
Your students can take a look inside the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in the morning before debating international diplomacy in the afternoon. It’s a destination we can’t recommend highly enough for schools interested in STEM, economics, business, or politics.
If you’re planning a school trip to Geneva, we’ll make sure it’s thought-provoking, memorable, and completely hassle-free. Contact our team today to start planning.

Why Choose Geneva For An Educational Tour?
World-leading science
Geneva has tonnes for budding scientists – from Plasma Centres to Power Plants. But no visit is complete without a trip to CERN. Every day, the world’s leading physicists and engineers try to answer the biggest questions about our universe.
Your group can take a guided tour of the facilities. You’ll learn about the work and achievements of CERN, including the cutting-edge experiments undertaken with the Large Hadron Collider.
CERN is a brilliant experience for young minds. It not only supports their studies, but it also inspires future careers.
Global diplomacy
Geneva is home to more international organisations than almost anywhere else in the world.
Your students can tour the United Nations, step inside the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, and learn about the city’s role in humanitarian aid and peacekeeping.
They’ll learn how global decisions are made and explore the challenges of cooperation between nations. It’s perfect for politics students.
Glorious cheese & chocolate
Yes, you read that right. Switzerland is known for many things, not least its delicious cheese and chocolate.
Your class will have the opportunity to learn more while in Geneva. You’ll visit the Chocolatiere Rapp, where students will receive a presentation and lesson in the art of chocolate making. Of course, there’s a free tasting, too.
In fact, Geneva is a great destination for food technology groups. The ever-popular Alimentarium Food Museum explores all aspects of food and nutrition, and is a truly unique experience.
