02 / Teardown
One price, six cost lines, nothing added at the door. Mandatory city taxes and entry fees are already inside the number below.
Prices are per student on a shared-room basis. Student-only groups, verified with a valid student ID at check-in. Meals outside breakfast, personal spending and optional day trips are paid directly on the road.
