School Trips to Poland
With its storied history, vibrant culture and wealth of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Poland is a perfect setting for any school trip.
The picturesque cities of Warsaw and Krakow are perhaps the most well-known, though there are countless other must-see sites dotted all around the country. NST has been arranging school trips to Poland for decades, so you’ll certainly be in safe hands when deciding on a bespoke itinerary that meets the specific requirements of your class.
The benefits of an educational school trip to Poland
A school trip to Poland offers students plenty of valuable educational and cultural benefits. It provides pupils with a first-hand opportunity to boost their knowledge of music, psychology, sociology, religion, science, literature and history while visiting iconic landmarks and sites like Malbork Castle, the Old City of Zamość, Toruń, Centennial Hall and many more.
Krakow is steeped in history, bearing the marks of World War II and the Holocaust. Additionally, its historical significance spans across to the beautiful Old Town which is known as the city’s historic centre. Here you’ll find meandering cobbled streets, interesting museums and galleries. There’s also the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a massive expanse of caverns, lakes and crystalline sculptures that have been growing for 900 years. It’s easy to see why these areas were named among the first urban UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Poland also has a distinct gastronomic reputation and is famous for merging cuisine from foreign countries, notably Italy and other Baltic nations. It’s safe to say that the country’s multitude of restaurants cater to every possible taste. Couple that with the number of wonderful concert halls, performance venues and language-learning experiences on offer, it’s easy to see why Poland is one of Europe’s top cultural destinations.
