Washington is a fantastic walking city and an iconic destination for university or college student group trips for History, Law and Politics.
Home to the Congress, Whitehouse, Pentagon and Supreme Court, among myriad other famous monuments and sites including the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, a Washington college or university tour is particularly great for history students, but still delivers on all levels.
The American capital also plays host to a wonderful range of galleries and museums, such as the Smithsonian, which are free to visit and will surely inspire groups studying a range of subjects. Students studying Art and Design might wish to visit the American Art Museum, which could be twinned with a trip to New York for a once in a lifetime experience.
Other experience options include a visit to the US Capitol or The Pentagon for Law & Politics students, or a trip to the National Air and Space Museum for Science and Technology students.
Don’t forget, New York isn’t too far away. We recommend taking your students on a two-centre trip to get value for money.
