School trips to Lille Christmas markets
Centred around a picturesque city in northern France, our Lille Christmas market student trips take in a wealth of festive foods and crafts.
French language students can practise their speaking and listening around shopping and tourism themes. The free WST Lille Christmas Quiz will encourage them to find their away around the markets, asking questions and reading signs. and with sights like Napoleon’s Palais des Beaux-Arts, there’s plenty of French art and history to discover too. Just don’t miss the chance to have a ride on the Ferris wheel while you’re there!
School trips to Aachen Christmas markets
Our Aachen Christmas market student trips offer enriching experiences for both German language and history students. Situated near the borders of both Belgium and the Netherlands, Aachen was once the residence of Charlemagne, Emperor of Rome, and offers a long and fascinating past for school tours to explore.
The markets, meanwhile, are nestled among historic buildings – including the 1,200-year-old Aachen Cathedral. There, your pupils can use their German vocabulary to order the famous Aachen Printen – a spiced variety of gingerbread unique to the city – or a classic Christmas wiener schnitzel. The choice is yours!
School trips to Cologne Christmas markets
Our student trips to the Rhineland Christmas markets allow your pupils to visit not one, not two, but SEVEN Christmas markets, all with plenty of opportunities for pupils to practise their German.
Boasting the Rhineland’s largest Christmas tree, the stalls in the shadows of the gothic Cathedral are a firm favourite for Cologne school tours. All your students need are a handful of Euros, a few key phrases in their back pockets, and the free WST Cologne Christmas Quiz and they’re sure to have a fantastic, festive time.

With over 80 separate markets and thousands of shopping stands to explore, plus skating rinks, fire artists, and endless festive food, the capital city is the ultimate destination for your student trip to Germany this Christmas.
However, a Berlin Christmas markets student trip offers more than just shopping.
