• 1) By content excursions can be subdivided into the ones that give an overview of the object / objects (multidisciplinary) and thematic.
• As a rule overview excursions are multi theme and they are called multidisciplinary. Historic and modern materials are used here. During the overview excursions events are described in general. This gives an idea about a town, area, region, republic, state as a whole. The chronological timeframe of this type of excursion ranges from the date when the town has been first mentioned until present day and its development perspectives.
• Thematic excursion is dedicated to one theme and if it is a historic excursion then one or several events are connected to one theme or sometimes it is a longer period of time that can form a basis for such an excursion. If the theme of excursion is architectural then the objects of learning can be the most outstanding pieces of architecture located at streets and squares of the town and for bigger cities it can be architectural complexes of the past centuries. Thematic excursions can have a historical, industrial, naturalistic (ecological) purpose, as well as they can be focused on fine arts, literature and architecture and town- planning.
