Your itinerary

A school stay can combine central heritage visits with planned activities outside the center, leaving enough time for transfers and meals. If outdoor activities are essential, clarify the return time and wet-clothing arrangements. Ask the organizer of each activity about its group requirements.
Explain the room split, adult supervision needs and whether the group requires private bathrooms. Check elevator access where needed. Teams should request equipment storage and meal times explicitly, with any extra charges shown in the offer.
