Dublin with your class
Dublin is one of the most accessible and genuinely enjoyable European capitals for school groups, a city where the history is rich, the welcome is warm, and there is something for every kind of learner. From Viking-age origins and a revolutionary history that reshaped the 20th century, to Trinity College's Book of Kells and the rolling hills of the Wicklow Mountains, Dublin manages to be both an easy city to navigate and a deeply educational one. The programme can be built around cultural and literary depth, or balanced with outdoor adventure and hands-on experiences, or both.
