Neuschwanstein Castle

“The castle of the fairy-tale king” is one of the most popular of all palaces and castle in Europe. The setting of this beautiful and magical white turreted castle could not be more idyllic.

Take a tour behind the scenes of the largest film studios in Europe. Students will also encounter movie classics like the original model submarine from “Das Boot”, the mythical creature from “The Never Ending Story” and the Gallic village from “Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar”.

Established in 1985, classes at this Munich school are taught in German with a focus on oral skills. Classes involve visits to the local town so students can practise their language skills.

Museum of Fascination & Terror

Hailed as one of the most important museums of the Nazi period in Germany, concentrating on the use of propaganda and the media by the Nazis.

Walking tour of important Nazi buildings including the site of the ‘Brown House’, the original party headquarters from 1930, the Führer Building, site of the 1938 conference and see also the headquarters of the SA and the Hitler youth.

Nazi Rally Grounds

Chosen by the Nazi party to be the site of the huge party rallies, the grounds covered about 11 square kilometres in the southeast of Nuremberg. Six Nazi party rallies were held there between 1933 and 1938 and the buildings standing today provide good examples of authentic Nazi architecture.
