School Trips to Munich & Nuremberg
Your pupils will gain an in-depth understanding of the Rise of Nazism through visits within Munich and Nuremberg. Munich was once a Nazi stronghold referred to as Haupstadt der Bewegung (“capital of the movement”) and on your history school trip in Nuremberg you will visit the rally ground, scene of some of the most important events in the Nazi calendar, and the impressive museum “Fascination and Terror”, which concentrates on the Nazi use of propaganda.
We pride ourselves on designing school trips that ensure young people get the absolute most out of their visit and that make life easier for teachers – before, during and after the trip. Trips to Munich and Nuremberg are part of a wide selection of school trips to Germany that we offer.
Munich & Nuremberg History School Trips & Tours
An education visit to Munich and Nuremberg can be used to study the history of the Nazi Germany – from the very beginnings of the Nazi movement to life in Germany under Nazi rule.
Munich and Nuremberg also offer opportunities to look at attempts to overthrow the regime and the initial stages of denazification by the allies at the end of the Second World War.
