CERN Trip 2025

 

 

After an early morning flight to Geneva on Friday 25th October, we checked into our hostel and immediately headed to the Red Cross Museum and the United Nations for guided tours. Both experiences were highly engaging, and here are some highlights shared by the students:

  • “The UN tour was really cool. Seeing the conference rooms and their different designs was the best part for sure.”

  • “My highlight for the CERN trip was definitely the Red Cross Museum. I learned how important it truly is for the world. I also really enjoyed the game we played at the end, where we all worked together to save a town from a tsunami.”

Afterward, we returned to the hostel for our evening meal. Some of us chose to take an evening walk to Lake Geneva to enjoy its beautiful lights at night.

The following morning, we visited CERN, which turned out to be a highlight for many students:

  • “I liked learning about the history of how the LHC was built.”

  • “My highlight of the trip was going to CERN and learning about the discoveries made there, like the Higgs Boson, and also seeing the CMS.”

  • “I really enjoyed learning the history of the particle accelerator and diving deeper into its function.”

  • “At CERN, the best part was definitely the interactive games and exhibitions after the tour!”

  • “The tour of CERN was fascinating, especially understanding the science behind accelerating particles to nearly the speed of light.”

  • “The particle accelerator was incredible—it’s amazing how far underground it is.”

In the evening, we dined at a restaurant offering an authentic Swiss experience. We enjoyed cheese fondue accompanied by live music and yodelling, with some of our students even participating in the performance!

Sunday was a more relaxed day. We visited the far side of Lake Geneva to see the iconic Jet d’Eau up close, followed by a walk through the charming Old Town. Later that day, we headed back to the airport for our return flight to the UK.
