School Trip Coach Hire in Geneva

CERN at Meyrin offers school group tours of the world's most significant particle physics facility. Guided tours are available for groups from age 12 upwards (younger if the group is accompanied by an appropriate level of teacher preparation); the standard school group tour covers the Globe of Science and Innovation (free visitor centre, no advance booking needed), the Microcosm exhibition, and, where available, above-ground sections of the accelerator complex. Tours of the underground Large Hadron Collider tunnel are not always available; they depend on the operational schedule. Book school group visits directly through CERN's official visitor programme several months in advance. The tour is directly relevant to Physics, General Science, and Technology curricula. The UNOG SDG Learning Hub at the United Nations Office covers sustainability and global goals, relevant to Science and Citizenship groups.

The Palais des Nations (United Nations Office at Geneva, UNOG) offers guided school group tours of the General Assembly chamber, the Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Room, and the Council Chamber. Advance booking is essential (allow 3 or more months) and UN security clearance for all group members is required. The visit is directly relevant to Citizenship, Politics, International Relations, and History curricula. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum (ICRC Museum) on the Avenue de la Paix, a short walk from the UN, provides one of Europe's most powerful educational experiences on humanitarian law and the history of the Red Cross movement; it is suitable from age 12 and has dedicated school group programmes. The World Economic Forum has a permanent presence in Geneva with context available on globalisation and international economics for older secondary groups.
