Join ESN Zürich for a Scientific Day Trip to CERN!

Have you ever wondered what happens at the world’s largest particle physics laboratory? Now’s your chance to find out! Join us for a unique excursion to CERN in Geneva, home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built and home to some of the most important discoveries in modern physics.

Discover where some of the most fascinating experiments in modern science are conducted, and get an exclusive look behind the scenes of cutting-edge research in physics and a tour of the beautiful city of Geneva for a price you won't find anywhere else!

An outline of our day:

• Departure: We’ll meet bright and early at Zürich HB at 06:00 to begin our journey to Geneva. The train ride is over three hours long, so plenty of time to catch up on sleep.

• CERN Guided Tour: Our tour begins around 10:00, giving you the chance to learn directly from experts about the research being conducted, the history of CERN, and its groundbreaking technology. The tour will conclude at midday

• Lunch Break: After the tour, we’ll enjoy lunch together (food options will be available nearby or you can bring your own).

• Geneva City Tour: In the afternoon, we’ll explore the beautiful city of Geneva with a guided walk through its historic center and lakeside views.

• Return: We'll head back to Zürich in the evening, arriving at Zürich HB by approximately 20:30.
